A high-contrast serif italic with crisp, bracketed serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation, with hairline entry/exit strokes and pointed terminals that give the contours a clean, incisive edge. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow with controlled curves, while the lowercase is more calligraphic, featuring flowing joins and lively, angled stress. Numerals echo the same contrast and slanted rhythm, with several forms showing energetic curves and tapered endings that create a dynamic, uneven texture typical of italic text.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial italics (emphasis, quotations, captions) where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve in refined magazine layouts and display lines—such as pull quotes or section heads—where its contrast and slant can add energy while maintaining a traditional typographic register.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, conveying refinement and formality with a distinctly editorial feel. Its sharp modulation and confident slant add a sense of momentum and elegance, suggesting classic book typography rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif italic that balances calligraphic liveliness with typographic discipline. It aims to provide a polished companion for text typography, emphasizing readability and a classic, cultured tone while offering a more expressive rhythm in italic settings.
The texture in paragraph setting is animated: thick strokes create a strong diagonal rhythm while hairlines open up counters and sharpen word shapes. The italic forms are expressive without becoming decorative, keeping a disciplined, text-oriented posture.
