A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal axis and crisp, bracketed wedge-like serifs. Strokes transition from hairline thins to strong, rounded thick parts, giving the letters a sculpted, pen-informed feel rather than purely geometric construction. Uppercase forms are compact and slightly narrow with sharp terminals and energetic curves, while the lowercase shows fluid joins, a single-storey “a,” and an overall forward-leaning, rhythmic texture. Figures are italic as well, with open counters and tapered terminals that match the text’s calligraphic modulation.
Well-suited for editorial design where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, chapter openers, or pull quotes. It can also serve in magazine and book typography for display-sized headings, subheads, and sophisticated branding where a classical serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with an unmistakably bookish, editorial voice. Its sharp thins and expressive italic movement convey elegance and authority, lending a slightly dramatic, classical flavor to headlines and emphasized passages.
This design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented serif italic with a calligraphic backbone, prioritizing lively rhythm and refined contrast. It aims to provide a confident, classical italic presence that remains readable while adding expressive emphasis.
The italic is assertive and continuous across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive slanted color in text. Delicate hairlines and pointed terminals suggest best results when given enough size and resolution to preserve detail.
