A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. The letterforms lean with a consistent rightward angle and show an engraved, calligraphic rhythm, with swelling main strokes and tapered terminals. Capitals are stately and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase is lively and text-oriented, with smooth joins and clear counters; numerals follow the same contrasty, slanted logic for a unified texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited to editorial design where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, such as pull quotes, intros, and subheads in magazines or books. It can also support refined branding, packaging, and invitation systems where a classic serif italic can carry a premium tone, particularly at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, evoking traditional book typography and formal print craft. Its sharp contrast and poised italics add a sense of ceremony and emphasis, lending a refined, slightly dramatic character suited to premium editorial settings.
Likely drawn to provide a conventional, text-friendly serif italic with a distinctly high-contrast, craft-driven feel. The design emphasizes clarity of italic structure and a polished printed appearance, balancing formal capitals with a more fluent lowercase for continuous reading.
In running text the face creates a bright, animated texture from the strong contrast and tight hairlines, making spacing and rhythm especially noticeable at display and subhead sizes. Curved letters show angled stress, and many terminals finish with subtle flicks that reinforce the italic motion.
