A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and smoothly bracketed serifs. The strokes feel calligraphic, with tapered entry/exit terminals and a forward-leaning, energetic cadence. Capitals are sturdy and slightly flared, while lowercase forms are compact and rhythmic, with distinctive italic construction in letters like a, f, g, and y. Numerals read as oldstyle, mixing ascenders and descenders, reinforcing a traditional text-centric color on the page.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form pull quotes where an italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for headings, subheads, and short emphatic passages that benefit from a classic, high-contrast texture.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a refined, slightly dramatic presence typical of traditional italics. It suggests authority and polish without feeling rigid, leaning toward an editorial and literary voice rather than a neutral, utilitarian one.
The design appears intended as a traditional italic companion for serious reading contexts, prioritizing a lively calligraphic rhythm and elegant contrast while preserving the familiar structure of conventional serif text forms.
The italic angle is assertive and consistent, creating strong word-shape flow in continuous text. Contrast and tapering become prominent at display sizes, while the firm serifs and open counters help maintain clarity in dense paragraphs.
