A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a pronounced diagonal stress. Strokes taper quickly into hairlines, especially in the joins and terminals, giving the letters a polished, engraver-like sharpness. Capitals are stately and slightly condensed with clear wedge-like serifs, while the lowercase shows a smooth cursive flow with generous entry/exit strokes and a lively rhythm. Curves are clean and controlled, counters are open, and spacing feels balanced for text, with a noticeable slant that maintains even color across words.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic is used for emphasis, pull quotes, bylines, or introductions. It should perform nicely in book and magazine settings at text and display sizes where its contrast and crisp serifs can read clearly. The refined italic character also makes it a strong choice for formal stationery and invitations.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, evoking bookish sophistication and traditional print typography. Its italic movement adds a sense of fluency and emphasis, reading as poised rather than casual. The sharp hairlines and disciplined proportions convey a refined, editorial voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a distinctly elegant, high-contrast finish. Its controlled slant and classic serif detailing suggest a role as a companion italic for extended reading and sophisticated typographic hierarchy.
Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel with notable contrast and elegant curves, pairing naturally with the italic letterforms. The italic ‘a’ and ‘f’ feature distinctive calligraphic shaping, and the uppercase maintains a calm, authoritative presence that anchors the more animated lowercase.
