A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic axis and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes move from hairline-thin joins to weighty main stems, with lively entry/exit strokes and sharp, slightly hooked terminals. The italic construction shows clear slant and flowing rhythm, while capitals stay firm and structured with wedge-like serifs and tapered cross-strokes. Lowercase forms lean and join with smooth curvature; counters are moderately open, and spacing feels tuned for continuous text rather than rigid grid-like display.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and titles that benefit from high-contrast elegance and a traditional serif presence.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its energetic italic motion adds a sense of sophistication and emphasis, making it feel polished, authoritative, and slightly dramatic.
Designed to provide a classic italic companion for conventional serif typography, balancing strong contrast with readable proportions. The intention appears to be a cultured, text-forward italic that can deliver emphasis with a distinctly literary, formal character.
Numerals and punctuation follow the same angled stress and contrast, helping emphasis and figures blend naturally into text. The italic forms read as intentionally designed (not merely slanted), with consistent stroke modulation and a cohesive serif vocabulary across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
