A high-contrast italic serif with a crisp, calligraphic construction and sharply cut, bracketed serifs. The strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with narrow hairlines and pointed terminals, giving letters a taut, sculpted profile. Proportions feel moderately condensed with a forward slant and energetic spacing; round forms are slightly oval and counters stay relatively open for an italic. The lowercase features a double-storey a and g, a narrow, slanted e with a delicate eye, and long, tapering entry/exit strokes that reinforce an editorial texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazine features, book and journal typography, and cultured headlines or subheads where an italic voice is desired. It also works well for pull quotes, introductions, and brand copy that benefits from a refined, classic tone at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is elegant and authoritative, with a traditional, bookish voice. Its sharp detailing and bright hairlines add drama and sophistication, suggesting formal writing and cultivated branding rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional italic serif with pronounced contrast and crisp finishing, aiming to provide a sophisticated, readable texture for editorial and literary contexts while delivering expressive emphasis when set larger.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing robust main strokes with fine hairlines and crisp finishing cuts. Uppercase forms read stately and stable, while the lowercase adds more motion through angled joins and tapered serifs, creating a lively italic rhythm across words and lines.
