A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a steady rightward slant. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, giving stroke endings a crisp, engraved feel rather than a slab look. Capitals are broad and stately with elegant curves, while the lowercase shows a more calligraphic rhythm, including angled entry strokes and lively joins. Counters are moderately open and the overall texture reads dark and confident, with the italic flow doing much of the stylistic work.
Well suited to editorial and literary settings where an expressive italic voice is desired—such as book typography, magazine features, and refined headlines. It also fits short-form display needs like pull quotes, formal announcements, and invitations, where its high contrast and crisp serifs can shine.
The font projects a traditional, bookish tone with an editorial polish. Its sharp serifs and sweeping italic forms add a sense of ceremony and emphasis, suggesting formality and cultivated taste rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended as a classic, conventional serif italic that combines traditional proportions with a more calligraphic italic motion. It prioritizes elegance and emphasis, delivering a strong typographic color for formal reading and editorial expression.
Figures appear lining and italicized, matching the text angle and contrast, which helps maintain consistency in mixed alphanumeric settings. The sample text shows strong word-shape and a dynamic line rhythm, though the dark color and sharp details suggest it will be most comfortable with adequate size and leading.
