A high-contrast serif italic with sharp, tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs. The strokes show a clear thick–thin modulation and a consistent rightward slant, with narrow, vertical proportions and a lively rhythm. Curves are clean and somewhat taut, while joins and serifs stay crisp, giving the letterforms a polished, engraved-like finish. Numerals echo the same contrast and slanted construction, with graceful curves and small, pointed finishing strokes.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes where an italic voice needs to feel refined and authoritative. It can also serve effectively in formal invitations, packaging, or branding that benefits from a classic, high-contrast serif style.
The overall tone feels classic and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial, bookish sophistication. Its brisk italic movement reads as elegant and assertive rather than casual, lending a sense of tradition and formality.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional italic with strong typographic color, emphasizing elegance, contrast, and a disciplined, narrow silhouette for refined reading and display contexts.
Uppercase forms appear tall and disciplined, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable cadence with compact counters and neatly controlled entry/exit strokes. The design’s contrast and sharp details are visually prominent, making the face feel most at home when it can breathe on the page.
