A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic rhythm, with tapered joins and wedge-like terminals that keep the texture energetic rather than mechanical. Capitals feel tall and stable with generous internal counters, while the lowercase is slightly more fluid, with rounded bowls, a two-storey “g,” and an angled, single-storey “a” that reinforces the italic motion. Numerals are similarly inclined and contrasty, with open forms and strong diagonals that read clearly at display sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine work, and situations where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or lead-ins. Its strong contrast and lively slant also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications where a classic serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a confident, slightly dramatic flair typical of traditional italics. It suggests refinement and authority, lending emphasis and elegance without feeling ornate or decorative.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, highly legible serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic underpinning, aiming for a polished literary voice that holds up in continuous reading while remaining expressive in display settings.
Spacing appears balanced for text, producing an even, dark typographic color in paragraphs. The slant is consistent across cases and figures, and the strong contrast gives the face a sharp, print-like presence, especially in larger settings.
