A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced diagonal stress and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes alternate between hairline thins and sturdier verticals, with tapered terminals and subtly flared joins that give the letters a lightly calligraphic, engraved feel. The italic angle is consistent and fairly energetic, with compact, slightly irregular widths across glyphs that create a lively rhythm. Capitals are broad and stately, while lowercase forms show traditional book-italic cues such as a single-storey a and a gently descending, looped g, with ball terminals appearing in select details.
Works well for editorial typography, literary and cultural publications, and book interior accents where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also suits refined display use such as invitations, pull quotes, and headings at moderate to large sizes where the contrast and detailing can be appreciated.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and traditional without feeling overly stiff. Its sharp contrasts and italic movement suggest formality and refinement, making it feel suited to cultured, editorial contexts.
Likely designed as a conventional text-serif italic with a classic, bookish pedigree, prioritizing elegant contrast, familiar serif structures, and a fluid reading rhythm. The goal appears to be a versatile italic suitable for both continuous text emphasis and expressive editorial display.
In text, the strong contrast and tapered serifs produce a bright, textured color and clear word shapes, especially in larger sizes. Numerals follow the same italic logic with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes, maintaining the overall brisk, crafted character.
