A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered serifs. Strokes move between hairline-thin connections and fuller verticals, giving the letterforms a lively, calligraphic rhythm without becoming ornamental. Proportions feel somewhat expansive with open counters and generous spacing, while terminals tend toward sharp, angled finishes that keep the texture brisk and elegant.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form articles where an italic with real character is desired. It also works effectively for pull quotes, subheads, captions, and elegant branding lines where a classic, refined tone and strong italic motion help establish hierarchy.
This typeface conveys a literary, cultivated tone with a touch of drama. The brisk italic movement and sharp contrast read as confident and refined, suggesting classic editorial sophistication rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional italic voice for text settings where emphasis and elegance are important. Its strong thick–thin modulation and tapered detailing aim to create a polished, authoritative texture that remains readable while adding stylistic energy.
The sample text shows a consistent, flowing rhythm across mixed-case settings, with distinctive italic forms that maintain clarity at display sizes. Numerals match the text’s contrast and slant, supporting coherent use in running text and references.
