A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes show a calligraphic influence with diagonal stress and crisp terminals, while joins are smooth and slightly bracketed, keeping the texture continuous in longer text. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow, with clean, pointed serifs and confident entry/exit strokes. Lowercase forms lean strongly with lively ascenders and descenders, and the overall color on the page is dark but controlled, aided by open counters and clear internal spaces.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, and long-form articles, especially for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, and other moments where an italic voice is needed without losing readability. It can also serve in formal invitations or branding that benefits from a classic, cultivated tone.
The font conveys a polished, literary tone—elegant and traditional with a hint of drama from the strong slant and contrast. It feels at home in cultured, editorial settings where a classic voice and a touch of sophistication are desired.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic for text typography, balancing strong contrast and calligraphic movement with the consistency needed for extended reading. Its wedge serifs and disciplined proportions aim for a timeless, editorial presence rather than display novelty.
Figures follow the same italic rhythm and contrast as the letters, reading as old-style companions rather than rigid, geometric numerals. Spacing appears tuned for continuous reading, producing a flowing line with distinct word shapes and a slightly energetic cadence.
