A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The design shows a strong diagonal stress and a consistent rightward slant, with tapered entry/exit strokes that give letters a calligraphic rhythm. Uppercase forms are relatively wide and open, while lowercase shapes are compact and flowing, with a single-storey italic “a” and a looped descender on “g.” Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are sharp, and spacing reads even in text, producing a bright, articulate texture.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as book and magazine italics, pull quotes, introductions, and emphasis within longer texts. It can also serve refined branding and packaging where a classic, cultivated voice is desired, especially at text to display sizes where the contrast can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a polished, editorial elegance. Its energetic italics and sharp contrast add a sense of sophistication and emphasis, evoking traditional book typography and refined print settings.
The design appears intended as a traditional text serif italic with a refined, print-oriented character, balancing readability with expressive calligraphic motion. Its sharp finishing details and consistent contrast suggest an aim toward elegant editorial composition and classical typographic tone.
The numerals follow the same high-contrast, serifed construction and feel well-matched to the letterforms, maintaining the italic movement and narrow joins. In running text the slant and contrast create a lively cadence, making the face feel expressive without becoming decorative.
