A high-contrast italic serif with tapered, calligraphic stroke endings and crisp bracketed serifs. The design shows lively diagonal stress, narrow joining points, and pronounced entry/exit strokes that give letters a forward pull. Uppercase forms are slightly compact with sharp terminals and elegant curves, while the lowercase features open apertures, a single-storey italic “a,” and a rhythmic, flowing texture. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with slender stems and curved bowls that keep the set cohesive in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial and long-form settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or lead-ins. It also works effectively for magazine features, literary titling, and refined brand applications that benefit from a classic italic texture.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking bookish, editorial typography with a touch of sophistication. Its energetic italic angle reads expressive yet controlled, suggesting formality without becoming overly decorative.
Likely intended as a conventional text companion italic that brings clear hierarchy and expressive emphasis while staying rooted in classic serif construction. The design balances legibility with a distinctly calligraphic motion to maintain elegance at typical reading sizes.
In text, the strong contrast and tapered joins create a sparkling page color, with noticeable emphasis from the italic’s long extenders and animated letterforms. The “Q” has a prominent, sweeping tail and several capitals show sharp, wedge-like terminals that reinforce the crisp, engraved feel.
