This is a high-contrast italic serif with sharply defined hairlines and robust main stems, producing a crisp, engraved rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, with a calligraphic slant that gives strokes a forward, flowing motion. Uppercase forms feel stately and open, while lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes and compact, slightly angular joins that keep text energetic without becoming decorative. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with slender curves and pronounced thick–thin transitions that read clearly at display sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazine features, essays, and book interiors—especially for italic roles such as emphasis, quotations, and introductions. It also works effectively for headlines and subheads that benefit from a refined, classical voice, and for formal materials like invitations or announcements where an elegant italic serif is appropriate.
The overall tone is classic and cultured, with an editorial elegance that suggests tradition and authority. Its italic posture and strong contrast add a sense of speed and emphasis, making it feel expressive yet controlled—suited to refined, text-forward communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with elevated contrast and a calligraphic sensibility, balancing readability with expressive flourish. It aims to deliver a traditional, authoritative feel while adding the energy and emphasis typical of an italic companion style.
In continuous text the face creates a pronounced diagonal texture, with bright counters and sharp terminals that increase sparkle and articulation. The design leans toward display and emphasized text settings, where the fine hairlines and dramatic contrast remain clean and intentional.
