A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with tapered joins and sharp entry/exit terminals, giving letters a slightly calligraphic cadence while remaining firmly text-oriented. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are stately and structured, lowercase is compact and smooth with flowing italic construction, and figures follow the same contrasty, old-style rhythm. Spacing reads even in the sample text, with clear word shapes and lively diagonal movement.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed: book and long-form italics, pull quotes, introductions, and refined headlines. It can also serve branding or packaging that benefits from a traditional, upscale serif with a dynamic slanted texture.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking traditional publishing and formal correspondence. Its brisk italic motion adds energy and elegance, suggesting emphasis and sophistication rather than casualness.
Designed to provide a classic italic companion with strong contrast and a polished, conventional serif structure, balancing readability with an expressive, calligraphy-informed rhythm for emphasis in text and display contexts.
The italic forms show strong differentiation between round and straight structures, with expressive curves in letters like a, f, g, and y and firm verticals in capitals. Numerals appear stylistically aligned with the text—curvy, high-contrast, and visually integrated—supporting continuous reading rather than purely utilitarian labeling.
