This serif italic shows pronounced diagonal stress with sharp, tapered serifs that flare subtly from the stems, giving terminals a carved, calligraphic finish. Stroke contrast is strong, with thin hairlines and fuller verticals, and the joins stay clean and crisp for a polished page color. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in presence, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and flowing cursive rhythm, with compact apertures and tidy counters. Numerals and punctuation match the same sharp, high-contrast construction, maintaining an even, editorial texture in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial typography—book interiors, magazine features, and pull quotes—where an expressive italic is needed without sacrificing refinement. It can also serve effectively in high-end branding, cultural programs, and invitation systems where a classical, polished voice is desirable.
The overall tone is sophisticated and literary, with a classic, old-world poise that reads as formal and cultivated. Its lively italic movement adds elegance and a hint of drama without becoming ornate or overly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast italic with a subtly flared serif treatment, combining calligraphic motion with disciplined proportions for elegant reading and display emphasis.
The italic slant is consistent and balanced, with careful spacing that supports both word shapes and longer passages. Terminals often finish in fine points and slight flares, reinforcing a chiseled, editorial character that remains legible at display and text sizes.
