A high-contrast italic serif with strong diagonal stress and a pronounced calligraphic rhythm. Thick verticals and hairline joins create sharp light–dark transitions, while bracketed, wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals keep the outlines crisp rather than soft. Proportions feel moderately compact with lively, variable letter widths; counters are relatively open in round forms, and the italic slant is assertive without becoming script-like. Numerals follow the same inclined, contrasty logic, with curved strokes and tapered endings that match the text face.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine headlines, book titles, and pull quotes where contrast and italic energy can carry emphasis. It can also work for refined branding and formal invitations when set at sizes that preserve the thin hairlines and sharp serifs.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying authority and polish with a slightly dramatic, energetic slant. Its crisp contrast and italic movement suggest refinement and ceremony, lending a confident, cultured voice to headings and emphasized text.
The design appears intended as a classic, high-contrast text italic that provides strong emphasis and elegance while remaining readable and structured. Its consistent modulation, bracketed serifs, and controlled slant point to a conventional serif palette optimized for sophisticated display and editorial use.
Round letters show clear modulation and clean hairlines, while diagonals and joins stay sharp, giving the face a precise, engraved feel. The lowercase includes a single-storey italic ‘a’ and similarly flowing italic structures, reinforcing a cohesive, text-oriented italic design.
