A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a smoothly calligraphic stroke flow. The letterforms show a pronounced diagonal stress, sharp wedge-like terminals, and clean hairlines against sturdier main strokes, creating a bright, carved texture. Counters are generally open and the curves are carefully tensioned, giving the set a controlled, polished rhythm. The overall proportions lean generous in width with steady spacing, and the figures follow the same italic, high-contrast logic for a cohesive page color.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice needs to carry real emphasis—magazine features, book typography, pull quotes, and sophisticated headlines. It can also work for formal branding elements where a classic serif italic is expected, especially at medium to larger sizes where the fine hairlines can be appreciated.
The tone is classic and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial feel. Its sweeping italics and sharp detailing suggest sophistication and tradition, reading as confident, literary, and slightly theatrical without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with a distinctly italic, calligraphic character—combining sharp modern crispness with classical proportions for expressive emphasis in text and display.
The uppercase italic construction feels stately and composed, while the lowercase brings more movement through curved joins and tapered terminals. Numerals match the style with elegant contrast and italic slant, supporting continuous text settings and display lines with the same visual voice.
