A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a forward-leaning, calligraphic stance. Serifs are bracketed and crisp, with wedge-like feet and pointed terminals that give strokes a sharp finish. Capitals read stately and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase shows energetic cursive influence—single-storey forms where expected, tapered joins, and a lively, uneven rhythm typical of italics. Numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast construction, maintaining a coherent color in text despite the strong modulation.
This face works well for editorial typography such as book interiors, magazines, and long-form articles where a traditional serif italic is needed for emphasis. Its strong contrast and sharp details also suit headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications where a more expressive italic presence is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and editorial typography. Its pronounced contrast and sharp finishing details add a dramatic, emphatic character that feels confident rather than delicate. The italic voice reads expressive and authoritative, suited to quotation, emphasis, and refined branding.
The design appears intended as a conventional, publication-oriented serif italic with a stronger-than-average contrast and a distinctly calligraphic flavor. It prioritizes elegant motion and emphatic texture, balancing classic bookish forms with a sharper, more assertive finish for display and editorial emphasis.
Stroke endings frequently narrow to fine points, creating a crisp sparkle at display sizes but a busier texture in dense settings. The italic angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a continuous forward motion across lines.
