A high-contrast italic serif with sharply cut, bracketed serifs and a pronounced diagonal stress. Strokes taper into fine hairlines, while main stems remain firm, creating a lively thick–thin rhythm. The italic construction shows flowing, slightly calligraphic joins and angled terminals, with compact counters and a gently right-leaning stance throughout. Capitals feel sculpted and steady with crisp wedge-like finishing, while the lowercase maintains a smooth reading texture with modest ascenders and descenders and clean, controlled curves.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book design, and magazine layouts where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal communications such as invitations or announcements, particularly at medium to larger sizes where the sharp contrast and detailing read clearly.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a refined, formal character that suggests tradition and polish rather than casual friendliness. Its energetic italics and crisp detailing lend a sense of sophistication suited to cultured, editorial settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a polished, print-oriented feel, prioritizing elegant contrast, crisp serif shaping, and a rhythmic, calligraphic slant for expressive emphasis within classic typography.
In text, the contrast and pointed finishing create a sparkling page color, especially in larger sizes. The numerals share the same angled, high-contrast treatment, aligning well with the text’s rhythmic movement and giving figures a distinctly typographic presence.
