A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply defined, bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms show a strong rightward slant and a calligraphic rhythm, with tapered entry strokes and crisp terminals that stay controlled rather than overly swashy. Capitals are broad and stately with clear baseline anchoring, while the lowercase maintains a steady, traditional texture and moderate proportions. Numerals follow the same italic, contrasty model with compact shapes and firm serifs, keeping the overall color consistent in text.
Well suited to book and magazine typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or named entities. It also performs nicely in short passages and display settings such as pull quotes, subheads, and refined headlines where its contrast and slant can carry the tone.
The tone is elegant and literary, suggesting tradition, authority, and polished craftsmanship. Its italic energy feels expressive but disciplined, lending a sense of sophistication suited to classic editorial typography.
Designed to provide a classic, readable italic companion with a refined, high-contrast texture and a traditional serif vocabulary. The intent appears to balance expressive calligraphic movement with conventional proportions for dependable use in editorial and literary contexts.
Stroke contrast and diagonal stress are prominent, creating bright internal counters and a lively shimmer at larger sizes. The spacing and slanted forms produce a flowing line that reads as conventional text serif italic rather than a script, making it feel familiar and usable while still expressive.
