A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show calligraphic modulation with thin hairlines and fuller verticals, producing a lively rhythm and clear diagonal stress. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented: moderate ascenders/descenders, open bowls, and compact, slightly tapered entry and exit strokes that keep word shapes fluid. The italic is expressive rather than cursive, with angled tops and pointed terminals that maintain a clean, print-like finish.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or citations. It can also serve for refined headlines and pull quotes when a classic, literary tone is desired, and its oldstyle numerals integrate naturally in running text.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, suggesting book typography and established editorial voices. Its sharp, confident italic movement adds elegance and a touch of drama without becoming ornate, making it feel suited to serious, classical settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a confident italic that prioritizes readability and typographic tradition. Its contrast and calligraphic stress aim to deliver a polished, editorial texture while preserving clear letterforms across continuous text.
Figures appear oldstyle, with varying heights and a more text-friendly flow compared to lining numerals. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly narrow in stance, while lowercase emphasizes smooth joins and distinct italic forms (notably single-storey a and g) that support continuous reading.
