An italic serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and a steady rightward slant. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, with sharp terminals and clean joins that give the letterforms a polished, engraved feel. Capitals are relatively wide with generous internal space, while lowercase shows a flowing, calligraphic rhythm and pronounced entry/exit strokes; the overall texture is smooth and refined rather than dense. Numerals and punctuation follow the same contrast and slanted posture, keeping the color consistent across mixed text.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other places where an italic needs to carry personality and emphasis. It can also work for short passages in editorial and literary contexts where a refined, classic serif tone is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, suggesting editorial sophistication and a measured, formal voice. Its pronounced italic movement adds a sense of momentum and rhetorical emphasis without becoming decorative or informal.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif italic with heightened contrast and a distinctly calligraphic slant, aiming to provide an elegant voice for emphasis within editorial typography. The consistent detailing across letters and figures suggests an intention toward polished, high-end composition for print-like settings.
The design relies on clear thick–thin modulation and tapered ends to maintain definition at display sizes, and it keeps a cohesive rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The italic forms feel purpose-drawn rather than merely slanted, reinforcing a classic, book-oriented character.
