A high-contrast serif italic with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show sharp thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals and smoothly curved joins, creating a lively diagonal rhythm across words. Proportions are on the wide side with generous counters and clear interior space; the forms feel structured rather than decorative, with an even, text-ready cadence in the sample paragraph. Numerals echo the same contrast and italic stress, with compact, slightly calligraphic shaping and crisp finishing.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, and subheads, as well as book interiors that want a traditional, polished feel. It can also serve in refined headlines or titling where a classic serif italic character is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting refinement and authority without feeling overly ornamental. Its energetic italic movement adds a cultured, expressive flavor suited to traditional publishing aesthetics.
The font appears designed as a conventional serif italic for reading-focused settings, balancing strong contrast and calligraphic energy with disciplined construction and consistent texture in paragraphs.
The design reads best at text-to-display crossover sizes: contrast and sharp terminals give it sparkle, while the open counters and steady spacing keep lines coherent. The italic is assertive enough for emphasis, with a consistent slant and stroke logic across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
