This is a high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines and fuller main strokes, producing a polished, sharply modeled texture on the page. The letters show a pronounced rightward slant and a calligraphic rhythm, with bracketed serifs that taper cleanly into stems. Curves are smooth and somewhat generous, while terminals often finish with subtle teardrop or wedge-like shapes that reinforce the italic motion. Capitals are proportioned for text settings rather than display extremes, and figures appear oldstyle-inspired in feel, integrating comfortably with the lowercase color.
It suits editorial typography where an italic voice needs to feel authoritative and elegant—magazine features, book interiors, introductions, pull quotes, and refined titling. It also works well for formal collateral such as invitations or certificates when a traditional, high-contrast italic is desired.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with an unmistakably classic, bookish character. Its italic energy feels expressive but controlled, suggesting formality and polish rather than exuberance.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic companion for text typography, emphasizing fluid, calligraphic movement and high-contrast refinement while keeping proportions and spacing suitable for sustained reading.
In the sample text, the face maintains a consistent, even cadence across long lines, with clear differentiation between rounded letters and straight-stem forms. The strong contrast and delicate joins give it a slightly “engraved” sharpness at larger sizes, while remaining composed for continuous reading.
