A high-contrast italic serif with a compact set width and a clear rightward slant. Strokes show a pronounced thick–thin modulation with tapered joins and crisp, bracketed serifs that read as sharp but controlled. Round letters (like O/C) appear slightly condensed with an evident diagonal stress, while verticals stay firm and the overall texture remains even in running text. Numerals and capitals keep the same calligraphic contrast and angled rhythm, producing a cohesive, polished page color.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, such as magazine features, pull quotes, and book typography. It can also perform as a compact, high-contrast display italic for headlines, bylines, and refined branding where a classic serif tone is desired.
The tone is elegant and editorial, combining classic bookish manners with a more fashion-forward, dramatic italic energy. It feels formal and cultivated rather than playful, suggesting curated writing, prestige, and measured sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with an assertive italic personality—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a compact rhythm for sophisticated publishing and brand applications.
The italic construction is consistently applied across cases, with lively entry/exit strokes and relatively tight sidebearings that keep words compact. Counters remain open enough for comfortable reading, while the crisp terminals and strong contrast add sparkle at display sizes.
