A high-contrast italic serif with prominent wedge-like, bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with tapered joins and curved entry/exit strokes that keep counters open and forms lively. The italic angle is consistent and energetic, with flowing diagonals in capitals and compact, rounded lowercase shapes; terminals often finish in small teardrops or ball-like details. Numerals follow the same slanted, contrasty construction, reading crisp and formal in text settings.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes where an italic voice needs to carry presence without losing readability. It also works effectively for headline or subhead emphasis, chapter openers, and formal branding moments that benefit from a classic italic serif texture.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, evoking traditional book typography and printed literature. Its strong contrast and pronounced italic movement add a sense of drama and polish, making it feel refined yet confident rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, print-oriented italic with strong contrast and clear serif structure, providing an expressive emphasis style that remains credible for continuous reading contexts.
Capitals appear slightly narrow with sweeping curves, while lowercase maintains a steady texture with clear serifs that help guide the eye along the line. The italic ‘a’ and ‘g’ use traditional, looped forms, reinforcing a conventional text-serif voice with an expressive, pen-informed finish.
