A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a noticeably calligraphic stroke modulation. The letters lean consistently with smooth entry and exit strokes, tapered terminals, and a clear diagonal stress through rounds. Proportions feel traditional, with moderate ascenders and descenders and a steady, text-oriented rhythm; counters stay open despite the contrast. Numerals echo the same refined construction, mixing sharp joins with flowing curves for a cohesive, bookish texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and long-form articles where an italic is used for emphasis, citations, or pull quotes. It also performs nicely for refined headings and subheads, especially where a classic, high-contrast look is desired.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with an elegant, cultivated presence that reads as formal without becoming ornamental. Its italic voice feels expressive and slightly dramatic, suited to emphasis and quotation while remaining composed and traditional.
The font appears designed as a conventional, text-oriented italic that balances readability with a distinctly refined, calligraphic flavor. Its sharp serifs, controlled slant, and pronounced contrast suggest an intent to provide a polished companion style for traditional serif typography in editorial and literary settings.
The design maintains a clean, disciplined silhouette: serifs stay sharp and well-defined, curves are smoothly tensioned, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) add a lively forward motion. Spacing appears even in running text, producing a consistent, polished color at larger sizes.
