An italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear calligraphic axis. Serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with pointed entry and exit strokes that keep the outlines crisp. The capitals are compact and slightly narrow, while lowercase forms show lively, angled terminals and a gentle forward slant that creates a smooth reading rhythm. Counters are relatively open for an italic, and spacing feels balanced for continuous text, with punctuation and figures matching the same high-contrast, engraved-like texture.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and literary publishing, as well as magazine and editorial settings where a refined italic voice is needed. It can also serve in formal invitations and upscale branding when a classic, high-contrast serif texture is desired, particularly at text and display sizes where the sharp detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and bookish, with an editorial polish that reads as traditional and cultured rather than casual. Its sharp terminals and high contrast lend a sense of ceremony and sophistication, making text feel composed and intentional.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast italic for text typography—prioritizing a graceful, traditional rhythm and crisp serif detailing. It aims to provide an authoritative, polished italic that complements classic editorial and book-oriented compositions.
The italic drawing is expressive without becoming swashy, relying on controlled curves and tapered joins for movement. Figures adopt the same formal, high-contrast treatment, helping mixed text and numerals maintain a consistent typographic color.
