A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. The letterforms show a forward-leaning, calligraphic skeleton with crisp terminals, compact joins, and a lively rhythm created by angled stress and strong thick–thin transitions. Counters are moderately open, curves are tightly controlled, and capitals feel stately and slightly wide with firm vertical presence, while the lowercase maintains a readable, traditional text proportioning. Numerals carry the same italic slant and contrast, with clear, sturdy shapes suited to display in running text.
Well-suited to editorial design where an italic voice is needed for emphasis—magazine features, book interiors, and refined longform typography. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials that benefit from a traditional, high-contrast serif with noticeable movement.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, evoking bookish sophistication and formal refinement. Its energetic italic movement adds drama and emphasis, giving text a confident, slightly luxurious voice without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with elevated contrast and a crafted, calligraphic flavor, balancing traditional readability with a more dramatic, display-capable presence.
The italic construction is consistent across cases, with distinctive, sculpted serifs and angled terminals that keep word shapes active. At larger sizes the crisp contrast reads as elegant and authoritative; in smaller settings it will benefit from adequate spacing and line height to preserve clarity.
