A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a pronounced diagonal stress. Strokes transition from hairline thins to weighty verticals, with tapered terminals and subtly calligraphic joins that keep curves lively. Capitals are stately and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase shows flowing, angled construction and a compact, text-oriented x-height. The numerals are italic as well, with elegant curves and narrow forms that sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Well-suited for long-form italics in books, magazines, and editorial layouts, as well as emphasis, pull quotes, and introductory paragraphs. It can also serve in refined titling where a classic italic voice is desired, especially in print or high-resolution digital settings.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, evoking printed literature and classic editorial typography. Its sharp contrast and forward slant add energy and sophistication, giving text a poised, formal voice without feeling ornamental.
Designed to provide a conventional, readable italic companion with a distinctly high-contrast, calligraphy-informed texture. The intent appears to balance traditional serif authority with a fluent, energetic slant for editorial and literary typography.
In the sample text, the rhythm is smooth and continuous, with clear word shapes and a consistent rightward momentum. The combination of fine hairlines and pointed details suggests it will look best when given enough size or output quality to preserve the thins.
