A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, tapered strokes and bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The design shows strong diagonal stress, narrow joins, and sharp terminals that give letters a clean, incisive finish. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a slightly lively rhythm; capitals feel more restrained and classical, while the lowercase is more calligraphic with pronounced entry/exit strokes. Overall proportions are balanced for text use, with clear counters and compact, well-knit spacing that reads coherently in words.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed without becoming decorative. It can also work for refined headlines and subheads, especially where a classic, formal tone is appropriate.
The font conveys a polished, literary tone—traditional and authoritative, yet energetic due to its italic motion and sharp detailing. It feels suited to refined editorial settings where a sense of craft and sophistication is desired.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a more expressive, calligraphic flavor. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast suggest an aim toward elegance and emphasis, functioning as a confident companion style for longer-form reading.
The numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with slender stems and emphasized curves that visually align with the text. In the sample paragraph the texture is dark and rhythmic, with distinct word shapes and a consistent forward slant that keeps lines moving.
