A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear calligraphic slant. Serifs are finely bracketed and tapered, with crisp, pointed terminals that keep the letterforms lively without looking ornate. The capitals read stately and slightly narrow with strong verticals and controlled curves, while the lowercase shows fluid joins, a single-storey italic ‘a’, and long, rhythmic extenders. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic motion, with open counters and a refined, text-oriented feel.
Well-suited for editorial environments such as magazines, books, and long-form articles where an italic is used for emphasis, quotations, and subheads. It can also serve as a refined display italic for titles, pull quotes, and classical-themed branding where a traditional serif voice is desired.
The tone is formal and cultivated, evoking book typography and traditional publishing. Its energetic italic angle adds emphasis and flourish, making it feel expressive yet still disciplined and trustworthy.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic that balances readability with expressive, calligraphic movement. It emphasizes a polished publishing aesthetic, providing a graceful italic voice for emphasis and hierarchy within a classic serif system.
Spacing and rhythm appear designed for continuous reading, with consistent contrast across alphabet and figures and a cohesive forward momentum in words. The overall silhouette stays clean and conventional, relying on contrast, taper, and subtle calligraphic cues rather than decorative detailing.
