This italic serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, tapered serifs and a calligraphic, right-leaning construction. Curves are smooth and compact with a slightly vertical, classical stress, while joins and terminals stay clean and sharply finished. Proportions feel traditional rather than extended, with steady spacing and a consistent rhythm that keeps words cohesive in text. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, slanted logic, with elegant curves and fine entry/exit strokes.
Well suited for italic roles in long-form typography such as books, essays, and magazines, where it can provide clear emphasis without breaking the text color. It also performs nicely for pull quotes, captions, and refined headlines that benefit from a classic, high-contrast italic voice.
The overall tone is bookish and editorial, projecting refinement and a traditional sense of authority. Its italic energy reads as expressive yet controlled, suited to sophisticated contexts where emphasis should feel elegant rather than flashy.
The design appears intended as a traditional text companion italic with a distinctly calligraphic flavor—balancing legibility and typographic convention with expressive, high-contrast detailing for elegant emphasis in editorial settings.
Distinctive italic forms include a flowing single-storey “a,” a curved “f” with a pronounced top, and a more calligraphic “k” and “y,” all of which reinforce an old-style, written influence. The contrast and fine details give it a crisp appearance at display sizes, while the even texture helps it remain composed in continuous reading.
