This italic serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with a calligraphic, forward slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes taper into pointed terminals and wedge-like entries, while curves are smooth and slightly organic, giving letters a lively, handwritten underpinning without becoming decorative. Proportions feel traditional, with clear ascender/descender activity and varied letter widths that create a natural rhythm across words; the numerals follow the same high-contrast, slightly angled construction for a cohesive texture in text.
It suits editorial applications such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic with strong contrast can add emphasis or sophistication. It also works well for pull quotes, subtitles, and formal printed materials like programs or invitations, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the tapering and contrast can be appreciated.
The tone is polished and literary, evoking book typography and classic editorial styling. Its sharp terminals and graceful movement convey sophistication and formality, with a subtle humanist warmth that keeps it from feeling mechanical.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast italic companion for refined text typography, prioritizing elegant rhythm, clear word shapes, and a traditional serif voice. Its detailing suggests an aim to provide expressive emphasis in running text while maintaining a disciplined, classic structure.
In the grid, the capitals read as stately and balanced, while the lowercase emphasizes fluid joins and tapered endings that enhance the italic motion. In the text sample, the face forms a dark, elegant line with clear word shapes, and the contrast adds sparkle at larger sizes while remaining composed in continuous reading.
