A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Thick verticals pair with hairline joins and tapered terminals, creating a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Proportions are fairly compact with moderate x-height, and the glyphs show energetic diagonals, narrow apertures, and pointed finials that keep the texture dense and continuous in text.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book jackets, and chapter openers where an expressive italic can carry emphasis. It also works for formal branding moments—labels, invitations, and packaging—especially when set at display or subhead sizes where the contrast and detailing stay clear.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial, with a polished, cultured voice suited to serious or literary settings. Its dramatic contrast and brisk italic motion add a sense of urgency and elegance, reading as confident and slightly theatrical without becoming ornamental.
The design appears aimed at a conventional text-serif italic with elevated contrast and a distinctly calligraphic slant, balancing readability with an assertive, refined personality. Its consistent serif treatment and controlled proportions suggest it’s intended to integrate smoothly into classic typographic systems while providing strong emphasis.
In the sample text, the color is dark and emphatic, with strong stroke modulation that rewards larger sizes and good printing. Numerals and caps carry the same sharp, tapered detailing, keeping headings and pull quotes visually cohesive with body text set in the italic.
