A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic axis and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation, with tapered terminals and energetic entry/exit strokes that create forward motion. Capitals are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase has flowing forms with noticeable swash-like tails (notably in y and z) and a lively, uneven texture typical of text italics. Numerals follow the same italic stress and contrast, with open curves and sharp, pointed joins that keep the overall rhythm brisk and refined.
Well-suited to editorial typography, magazine features, and book or journal settings where an italic voice needs to carry real weight. Its contrast and motion make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and short passages that should feel authoritative and traditional. It can also work in refined branding contexts where a classic serif italic is desired for a premium, literary impression.
The font conveys a traditional, editorial tone—confident and cultured—while the strong slant and sharp contrast add drama and emphasis. It reads as literary and ceremonial rather than casual, giving text a sense of prestige and urgency without becoming ornate.
Designed to deliver a strong, traditional italic with pronounced contrast and crisp serif detailing, providing emphasis and hierarchy in text while retaining a classic, print-forward texture.
Spacing appears moderately tight in the sample text, producing a dense, newspaper-like color that suits emphatic setting. The italic angle is consistent across letters and figures, and the sharp terminals and wedge serifs help maintain clarity at display sizes while preserving a classic text-italic character.
