A high-contrast serif italic with sharply tapered entry and exit strokes and a pronounced rightward slant. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with wedge-like terminals that feel crisp rather than blunt. Curves are smoothly drawn and slightly compressed, while verticals remain dominant, producing a clean, disciplined rhythm in text. The lowercase shows lively, calligraphic modulation—particularly in the ascenders and the curved joins—paired with compact, neatly shaped counters that keep the overall texture polished and controlled.
Well-suited to long-form editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or titles within text. It can also serve effectively in magazines and book design for refined subheads and display lines, especially when a classic, high-contrast italic texture is desired.
The font conveys a refined, literary tone with a traditional, editorial seriousness. Its italic energy feels poised and cultivated rather than flamboyant, suggesting formality and taste. The contrast and sharp terminals add a sense of precision and sophistication suitable for classic typography.
Likely designed as a conventional text-oriented serif italic that balances calligraphic character with disciplined readability. The goal appears to be a polished, traditional italic with enough contrast and sharpness to feel premium in print-like settings while maintaining steady rhythm in paragraphs.
Uppercase forms read stately and slightly narrow, with crisp diagonals and carefully tapered arms. Numerals follow the same italic construction and contrast, giving figures a consistent, old-world elegance for inline use alongside text.
