A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered stroke endings. Stems and diagonals show strong thick–thin modulation, with wedge-like, lightly flared serifs and smoothly bracketed joins that keep forms sharp but not brittle. Uppercase proportions feel stately and open, while the lowercase is more animated, with compact counters and lively curves; the overall rhythm reads as distinctly italic rather than merely obliqued. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with elegant curves and clear stress that matches the text face.
Well-suited to editorial design, book or magazine typography, and other long-form settings where an italic voice is needed with clarity and refinement. It also performs nicely in display-leaning applications such as invitations, cultural branding, and pull quotes where its contrast and tapered endings can add sophistication.
The tone is polished and literary, combining classic bookish authority with a sense of motion and flourish. It suggests editorial sophistication—formal without becoming cold—making it feel suited to cultured, expressive typography rather than neutral UI work.
Designed to provide a classic, calligraphy-informed italic with strong thick–thin contrast and flared, wedge-like serifs, balancing readability with expressive character. The goal appears to be an italic that can carry continuous text while still offering a distinctive, elevated tone.
The italic construction is evident in the flowing entry/exit strokes and the way terminals resolve into sharp, angled endings. Spacing in the sample text appears comfortable for continuous reading, with a consistent texture that stays energetic due to the contrast and slanted stress.
