A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairlines and weighty main stems, showing a consistent rightward slant and pronounced diagonal stress. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, with crisp terminals that give forms a slightly calligraphic snap rather than a purely mechanical feel. Uppercase proportions are traditional and stately, while the lowercase features compact, flowing shapes with tight counters and energetic joins; descenders are moderately long and help create an emphatic italic rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, reading clearly with pointed, serifed finishes.
Well-suited for editorial settings such as books, magazines, and long-form features where an italic with strong character is needed for emphasis. It also performs well in headlines, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and motion can add sophistication and hierarchy.
The overall tone is classical and literary, evoking printed books and traditional editorial typography. Its high-contrast italic energy feels elegant and persuasive, lending emphasis with a refined, formal voice rather than a casual one.
Designed to provide a conventional text-serif foundation in an italic style that adds drama through contrast, tapered serifs, and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. The intent appears to balance readability with expressive emphasis for classic publishing applications.
The italic construction is assertive, with noticeable stroke modulation and lively entry/exit strokes that produce a rhythmic texture in paragraphs. At larger sizes the sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs become a defining visual feature.
