A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and fuller curved strokes, showing clear broad-nib influence. The letterforms lean decisively with smooth, continuous curves and bracketed wedge-like serifs that stay sharp and controlled. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: moderate x-height, tall ascenders, and compact counters that give words a lively, textured rhythm. The italic construction is expressive without becoming script-like, maintaining consistent spacing and a disciplined baseline across the alphabet and numerals.
This font is well-suited for long-form italics in books and journals, as well as editorial layouts where contrast and italic movement help articulate emphasis. It also works effectively in magazine pull quotes, refined branding moments, and formal titling where a traditional, high-contrast italic serif is desired.
The overall tone is polished and classical, evoking established editorial and literary typography. Its strong diagonal energy and crisp contrast add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, making text feel intentional and cultivated rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic with a classic calligraphic backbone—built to deliver elegant emphasis in text while preserving typographic discipline. Its contrast and brisk serifs aim to provide a refined voice for editorial and literary typography.
Uppercase forms read stately and slightly calligraphic, while the lowercase shows pronounced italic entry/exit strokes and a rhythmic, variable word color. The numerals follow the same contrast and italic slant, suitable for continuous text settings where figures should harmonize with the surrounding italics.
