A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs that end in sharp, tapered terminals. The italic angle is assertive, with flowing, calligraphic curves and diagonal stress visible across both uppercase and lowercase. Letterforms keep traditional proportions with a moderate x-height, open counters, and smooth join transitions, giving the text a lively rhythm without feeling ornamental. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast construction, with clear hairlines and sturdy main strokes that read cleanly at display sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography where an expressive italic is needed for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and typographic emphasis within long-form text. It also fits classic book and journal styling, invitations or announcements with a formal tone, and branding that benefits from a refined, traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, conveying a sense of literary elegance and editorial polish. Its strong italic movement adds energy and sophistication, suggesting emphasis, quotation, or a classic bookish voice rather than a casual or contemporary one.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic serif with elevated contrast and a calligraphic sensibility, balancing elegance with clarity. Its construction prioritizes a polished editorial texture and a distinctive italic voice that can carry emphasis and display roles while remaining anchored in traditional serif forms.
Round letters show generous, well-controlled curves, while diagonals and entry/exit strokes finish in fine points that heighten the crispness. The uppercase set feels dignified and slightly formal, and the lowercase maintains a consistent slant and stroke logic for coherent paragraph color.
