A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear calligraphic slant. Serifs are bracketed and crisp, with tapered strokes and pointed terminals that give forms a carved, energetic finish. Curves show a diagonal stress, and joins are clean and controlled, producing a lively rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same italic, contrasty logic with sharp diagonals and sturdy vertical emphasis.
Well-suited to editorial environments such as magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also performs well in refined headlines, subheads, and pull quotes, especially where a classic, authoritative tone is desired.
The overall tone feels traditional and cultivated, evoking bookish, editorial typography with a slightly dramatic, old-world elegance. Its brisk slant and sharp finishing details add a sense of motion and sophistication without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented italic that balances readability with expressive contrast and a traditional serif vocabulary. It aims to provide a polished italic companion for formal typography, delivering emphasis and elegance with disciplined, classic proportions.
Uppercase forms read stately and structured, while the lowercase shows more pronounced cursive influence, helping text lines feel fluid. The design maintains strong internal consistency across letters and figures, with generous counters that keep the high contrast from closing up in larger text settings.
