A high-contrast serif italic with sharp, bracketed serifs and tapered stroke endings. The forms show a consistent rightward slant, with calligraphic modulation that produces crisp hairlines and weighty verticals. Capitals are compact and dignified, while the lowercase is more flowing, with smooth joins, angled terminals, and lively bowls. Numerals and punctuation sit with a slightly varied, drawn quality that gives the overall texture a subtly organic rhythm while remaining clean and well-structured.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis, subheads, or pull quotes. It also performs convincingly in classy headlines and short passages where its contrast and detailing can be appreciated.
The font conveys a traditional, cultivated tone associated with bookish and editorial typography. Its italic energy feels elegant rather than casual, lending emphasis with a refined, authoritative presence.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with elevated contrast and careful serif shaping, balancing readability with a distinctly formal, literary character.
Counters are relatively open for an italic of this contrast level, helping maintain clarity in text. The slanted forms and tapered terminals create a gentle forward motion, and the overall color on the page reads dark and confident at display sizes.
