A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed wedge-like serifs. The forms show a steady rightward slant and a calligraphic rhythm, with tapered terminals and gently cupped serifs that add sparkle at text sizes. Uppercase letters are sturdy and slightly compact, while lowercase shapes are more fluid, with single-storey a and g and softly rounded joins. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, maintaining clear silhouettes and consistent stress.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors (especially for emphasis, excerpts, and chapter openers), and refined marketing materials. It also works effectively in invitations and formal announcements where a classic italic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a refined, editorial confidence. Its crisp contrast and italic energy suggest sophistication rather than casualness, lending a cultured, traditional voice to headlines and reading text alike.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, legible serif italic with a polished, print-oriented feel. The intention appears to balance traditional proportions with lively, calligraphic detailing to produce elegant emphasis and readable texture in continuous text.
Stroke endings often finish in sharp, tapered points, and the counters remain open enough to keep the texture from collapsing despite the contrast. The italic construction reads more like a true italic than an oblique, with letterforms reshaped for a flowing, pen-informed cadence.
