A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and finely bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant and calligraphic modulation, with thin hairlines and heavier main stems creating a crisp, sparkling texture. Proportions feel fairly traditional, with moderate ascenders and descenders and a steady baseline rhythm; capitals are stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase has compact, efficient counters. Numerals follow the same italic construction and contrast, giving figures a lively, slanted cadence in text.
Well-suited for long-form and editorial applications where an italic companion is needed for emphasis, quotations, captions, or secondary hierarchy. It also works effectively in refined branding, invitations, and packaging that benefit from a traditional, elegant italic presence, and in subheads where its slant and contrast can add distinction without overwhelming the page.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking bookish refinement and an editorial, old-world polish. Its energetic italic movement reads expressive without becoming flamboyant, lending a formal, literary voice suited to elevated typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif italic that prioritizes clarity and classical form while providing expressive emphasis. Its consistent slant, controlled proportions, and crisp serif detailing suggest a focus on reliable editorial performance and a timeless typographic voice.
Details like the curled terminals on letters such as the lowercase “a” and “y,” the compact double-storey “g,” and the sharp, tapered diagonals in “v/w/x” reinforce a disciplined, traditional italic model. In running text it produces a dark-to-light shimmer from the contrast, making it feel best when given a bit of breathing room in line spacing.
