A high-contrast serif with an italic construction, showing strong thick–thin modulation and a gently calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, and many strokes end in crisp, tapered terminals. Curves (C, G, O, S) exhibit diagonal stress, while verticals remain steady and dark, producing a polished, print-like texture. The italics lean is clear but controlled, with lively entry/exit strokes in lowercase and a slightly varied, organic width across forms.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form reading, and magazine/editorial design where a classic italic voice is needed for emphasis or primary setting. It can also serve effectively in display contexts—headlines, pull quotes, and premium packaging—where high contrast and sharp serifs provide a refined, authoritative look.
The overall tone feels formal and literary, with an editorial elegance that reads as traditional rather than decorative. It conveys refinement and seriousness, with enough movement to feel expressive without becoming flamboyant.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, text-oriented serif with an italic, calligraphic inflection—prioritizing elegant contrast, crisp finishing details, and a cultivated rhythm for editorial and literary applications.
Uppercase shapes are stately and clean, while the lowercase introduces more handwritten nuance—especially in a, f, g, and y—supporting a sophisticated, bookish color in running text. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, giving figures a classic, old-world formality suitable for typographic settings that need presence without bulk.
