An italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a clear calligraphic construction. Strokes show diagonal stress with tapered entry/exit terminals, bracketed serifs, and sharp, clean joins that keep the texture crisp. Proportions lean slightly narrow with lively, varied letter widths and generous curves; capitals are stately and slanted, while lowercase forms have energetic, sweeping italics with compact counters and well-shaped bowls.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and literary titling where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis, quotes, or headings. It can also serve refined applications like programs, invitations, and brand materials that benefit from a traditional, high-contrast serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with an editorial elegance that feels suited to traditional publishing. Its dynamic slant and high contrast add drama and sophistication without becoming ornamental.
Designed to deliver a conventional text-serif italic with strong calligraphic energy, balancing readability with expressive contrast and a distinctly classical tone for publishing and editorial use.
The italic forms are strongly voiced: the lowercase shows flowing movement and tapering terminals, while numerals and capitals maintain a formal, bookish presence. In text, the rhythm is dense and lively, producing a dark, authoritative color at larger sizes.
