A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, wedge-like bracketed serifs and a strong rightward slant. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation and a calligraphic rhythm, with tapered terminals and pointed joins that keep contours lively. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: moderate x-height, relatively compact lowercase with clear ascenders/descenders, and sturdy, slanted capitals that maintain consistent stress across the set. Numerals follow the same italic construction, with open counters and clear differentiation at display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and book-cover typography where a classic italic voice is desired. It can also serve in refined branding and packaging that benefits from high-contrast elegance, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is elegant and traditional, suggesting editorial sophistication and a slightly dramatic, expressive cadence. Its energetic slant and sharp finishing details add a sense of motion while staying firmly rooted in classic serif typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, classic italic serif with heightened contrast and a distinctly calligraphic finish—aiming for readability with a polished, expressive tone for editorial and literary contexts.
The italic forms read as deliberately stylized rather than purely oblique, with distinctive entry/exit strokes and terminals that emphasize a handwritten influence. The sample text shows a smooth word rhythm and strong contrast that favors larger sizes where the thin strokes and sharp details can stay clear.
