An italic serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and a pronounced diagonal axis. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, with tapered terminals and clean joins that create a precise, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: moderate x-height, open counters, and a noticeable variation in letter widths, with capitals carrying stately forms and italics showing lively entry and exit strokes.
Well suited to long-form reading and editorial typography where a classic italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, and secondary hierarchy. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed pieces where elegance and contrast are desirable.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with an elegant, old-world sensibility suited to cultured, formal settings. Its slanted, high-contrast construction adds motion and emphasis while maintaining a composed, authoritative voice.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability while delivering a sophisticated, traditional character. The combination of sharp, bracketed serifs and high-contrast strokes suggests an intent to echo classic book typography with a crisp, contemporary finish.
The italic forms read clearly at text sizes, with well-defined counters and distinct silhouettes across both capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, calligraphic logic, giving figures a polished, editorial feel rather than a purely utilitarian one.
