A high-contrast serif italic with sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Stems and bowls show clear thick–thin modulation with diagonal stress, while joins and terminals feel slightly calligraphic rather than purely geometric. Proportions are moderately narrow in some capitals and more expansive in rounded letters, creating a subtly variable rhythm across the set. Numerals follow the same energetic contrast, with a mix of open curves and crisp, angled terminals that keep the texture lively at text sizes.
Works well for long-form editorial typography such as book interiors, magazines, and essay layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also suits literary titles, pull quotes, captions, and refined brand copy that benefits from a classic, high-contrast texture.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a poised, editorial feel. Its brisk italic movement and crisp serifs add a sense of formality and authority, while the calligraphic influence keeps it from feeling stiff. The impression is refined and articulate, suited to elegant, text-forward design.
Likely designed to provide a traditional serif italic with strong contrast and crisp, tapered serifs, delivering an expressive yet orthodox companion for text typography. The intent appears to balance readability with a distinctly italic, calligraphic cadence that remains appropriate for conventional publishing contexts.
The italic construction is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with noticeable entry/exit strokes and tapered ends that emphasize motion. Curves are smooth and generously shaped, and the sharper serif points and angled terminals give words a distinct sparkle in display settings while still reading as a conventional text serif.
