A high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines, stronger vertical stems, and smoothly bracketed serifs. The letterforms lean with a steady, even slant and a rhythmic, calligraphic modulation, producing lively diagonals and tapered terminals. Counters are open and well-shaped, and the lowercase shows a clear, readable structure with ascenders that feel prominent without becoming spindly. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with curved forms and small finishing strokes that keep the set cohesive in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book work, and magazine layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or lead-ins. It can also serve formal stationery and invitations, especially when paired with a more neutral roman companion for hierarchy and long-form readability.
The overall tone is literary and composed, pairing old-style warmth with a sharper, more formal elegance. Its brisk italic movement and polished contrast give it a cultured, editorial feel that reads as traditional rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a refined, high-contrast finish. Its controlled slant and classic serif detailing suggest a focus on elegant emphasis in continuous reading contexts rather than display-only styling.
In running text the face maintains a consistent texture despite the contrast, with pronounced entry/exit strokes that add momentum. The italic caps remain sturdy and legible, giving headings a dignified presence without appearing overly ornate.
