A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered stroke endings. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with wedge-like terminals and delicate hairlines that emphasize the thick–thin rhythm. Proportions feel moderately narrow and vertically oriented, with open counters and a steady baseline flow; the overall texture is lively rather than rigid, aided by calligraphic joins and varied terminal shapes. Numerals and capitals maintain the same incisive contrast and italic momentum, creating a cohesive, formal page color.
Well-suited to editorial design and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or quoted material. It also performs nicely in refined display roles—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed pieces—where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated.
The tone is traditional and polished, evoking bookish and editorial typography with a touch of calligraphic sophistication. Its contrast and sharp terminals read as upscale and authoritative, suitable for conveying seriousness and craft.
Designed to provide a conventional, highly legible italic serif with elevated contrast and a confident, classical rhythm. The intent appears to balance readability with a distinctly elegant, calligraphic flavor for editorial and formal typographic settings.
The italic construction is assertive, with energetic diagonals and a consistent pen-like modulation that keeps long passages from feeling monotonous. At larger sizes the fine hairlines and pointed terminals become a defining feature, while at smaller sizes the strong thick strokes help preserve clarity.
