A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation and a subtly calligraphic rhythm, with bracketed serifs and pointed entry/exit strokes that keep forms sharp and energetic. The lowercase features compact, flowing shapes with a single-storey a and g, narrow counters, and an overall slightly condensed feel in text, while caps maintain traditional proportions and a dignified stance. Numerals appear lining and similarly high-contrast, matching the italic movement with angled terminals and elegant curves.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or headings. It can also serve in refined display contexts—pull quotes, cover lines, and formal printed materials—where its high-contrast elegance and traditional serif detailing can be showcased.
The tone is polished and literary, with a classical, bookish elegance that reads as cultured and formal. Its lively italic motion adds a sense of momentum and sophistication, suggesting traditional print craft rather than a modernist or utilitarian voice.
Likely designed as a conventional text-serif italic intended to provide an elegant companion for continuous reading and typographic emphasis. The design prioritizes classical proportions, strong contrast, and a calligraphic flow to produce a refined, authoritative texture in print-oriented layouts.
In the sample text the spacing and letterfit create a smooth, continuous texture typical of italic text faces, with strong diagonal emphasis and clean joins. The sharp serifs and fine hairlines give it a crisp look that benefits from comfortable sizes and good reproduction conditions.
