This italic serif shows pronounced thick–thin contrast with sharply tapered, bracketed serifs and a lively, right-leaning construction. Strokes end in fine points and small wedges, with smooth, calligraphic joins that keep counters open and legible. Capitals are compact and formal, while the lowercase introduces more motion through curved entry strokes, a single-storey “a,” and a distinctive italic “f” with a long descender. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and narrow hairlines that give the set a crisp, engraved feel.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductions. It can also serve in magazine features and refined branding applications that benefit from a classic, high-contrast voice.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and classic publishing. Its energetic italic rhythm reads as articulate and expressive rather than casual, lending a sense of refinement and authority.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast italic for text typography, balancing formal serif structure with a calligraphic, expressive slant. Its goal is to provide a polished italic companion that reads cleanly while adding sophistication and motion.
Spacing and rhythm feel even in running text, with clear word shapes and a consistent slant across letters and figures. Hairlines are noticeably delicate, so the design’s sharpness and contrast become most apparent at text and display sizes where fine details can hold.
