A high-contrast serif italic with sharply tapered strokes and a pronounced rightward slant. Serifs are small and bracketed, with crisp terminals and a calligraphic modulation that produces strong thick–thin transitions. The capitals feel compact and disciplined, while the lowercase shows lively, flowing forms with angled entry/exit strokes and distinctive italic shaping; numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast construction for a cohesive rhythm.
Well suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, pull quotes, and other emphasis-heavy settings where an italic is used as a primary voice. It can also work for refined headlines and subheads that benefit from a classic, literary character.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, evoking classic book typography and formal publishing. Its energetic italic movement adds a sense of elegance and emphasis without becoming decorative, making it feel refined and authoritative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a strong calligraphic influence, balancing traditional proportions with crisp, high-contrast detailing. It aims to deliver a familiar, publishable texture while providing expressive italic emphasis in continuous reading contexts.
In running text the spacing and stroke contrast create a lively texture with clear word shapes, especially in mixed-case settings. The italic’s sharp joins and tapered details read best at comfortable text sizes and above where the fine hairlines can remain visible.
