A high-contrast italic serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show a clear thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals, giving counters a crisp, sculpted feel. The capitals are broad and stately, while the lowercase has flowing, calligraphic joins and varied letter widths that create a lively rhythm across words. Numerals follow the same old-style, angled stress with distinctive curves and sharp entry/exit cuts.
Best suited to display and short-form reading such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, magazine features, and book-cover typography where its contrast and slant can shine. It can also work for elegant branding elements (e.g., invitations or cultural institutions) when set with comfortable spacing and moderate line lengths.
The overall tone is traditional and refined, with a distinctly editorial confidence. Its strong contrast and energetic italic movement add drama and sophistication, suggesting heritage publishing, ceremony, and cultured storytelling rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional text-serif voice in a more expressive, italic-forward form—combining classical proportions with emphatic contrast and a spirited, calligraphic cadence for impactful editorial typography.
The italic construction is assertive, with sharp, clean apexes and pointed diagonals that keep large sizes crisp. Round forms (C, O, G, Q) emphasize angled stress and elegant thickened curves, while letters like a, e, and g lean toward a classic old-style texture that reads best when given room to breathe.
