A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes move from hairline-thin connections to strong verticals, with bracketed, wedge-like serifs that feel sharply cut rather than blunt. The rhythm is flowing and continuous, with narrow joins, gently modulated curves, and a slightly condensed feel in many letters, giving the texture a lively, shimmering line across text. Numerals follow the same italic, modulated construction, with open counters and fine entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, long-form reading passages, and book interiors where an italic with clear contrast can add hierarchy and emphasis. It also performs well for magazine features, refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as invitations or programs where a classic, elegant italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is sophisticated and literary, evoking traditional book typography and polished editorial design. Its calligraphic energy reads as cultured and expressive without becoming ornamental, suggesting formality and taste.
The design appears intended as a conventional yet expressive italic text serif: to provide a refined, traditional tone, strong typographic color in paragraphs, and a graceful emphasis style that remains readable.
Uppercase forms are stately and slightly narrow, while lowercase shapes emphasize cursive motion and contrast, producing a strong horizontal pace in paragraphs. Hairlines and pointed terminals become especially prominent at larger sizes and in lighter color settings.
