A high-contrast italic serif with narrow, brisk letterforms and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show a calligraphic logic: thick vertical-ish stems and thin hairlines with crisp, angular terminals. Serifs are small and sharply bracketed, often wedge-like, and many joins form pointed corners that give the face a slightly faceted, chiseled texture. Proportions are compact with tight apertures and an energetic rhythm, while numerals and capitals maintain a controlled, upright structure despite the italic axis.
Well suited for book and magazine typography where an italic with authority is needed—introductions, emphasis, and extended quotations. The lively slant and high contrast also work effectively for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and other display moments where a refined, classic tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a formal, literary voice. Its sharp contrast and taut slant create a sense of speed and sophistication, leaning more toward cultured refinement than warmth. The angular detailing adds a subtly dramatic, old-world flavor without becoming ornate.
The font appears intended as a conventional, readable italic serif with elevated contrast and a crisp, angular finish. It aims to provide a sophisticated companion for text settings while still carrying enough character to stand on its own in editorial display.
The design favors crispness over softness: many curves resolve into angled transitions, and several glyphs show subtly squared counters and corners that reinforce a technical, etched impression. In text, the strong contrast and narrow internal spaces make it feel best when given comfortable size and leading.
