A high-contrast serif with a pronounced italic slant and a lively, calligraphic modulation. Stems alternate between thick verticals and very thin hairlines, with sharply tapered joins and crisp, bracketed serifs. Counters are relatively open and oval, while terminals often finish in wedge-like or gently hooked forms that add motion. The overall rhythm is slightly uneven in an intentional way, giving the face a spirited texture while keeping letterforms conventional and readable.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and other text-forward design where an expressive italic voice is desirable. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal stationery that benefits from crisp, traditional serif detail.
The font reads as classic and literary, with a refined, slightly dramatic tone typical of traditional book and editorial typography. Its sharp contrast and energetic italics convey sophistication and emphasis, lending a sense of formality without feeling rigid.
Likely designed to provide a conventional serif foundation with an emphatic, energetic italic character, balancing classical proportions with sharp contrast for a polished print-oriented look.
In the sample text, the strong contrast remains clear at display sizes, and the italic angle creates forward momentum in long lines. Numerals appear lining with noticeable contrast and curved forms, suited to text settings where figures should share the same elegant, old-style feel.
