This serif italic shows pronounced stroke contrast with tapered, calligraphic terminals and bracketed serifs. The letterforms lean with a steady, even rhythm, pairing crisp hairlines with fuller curves and gently flared joins. Counters are moderately open and the overall color stays clean and composed, while the proportions read slightly expansive in the capitals and round letters. Numerals follow the same italic construction with compact, sculpted shapes and clear stress.
Well suited for book and magazine typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or chapter-level hierarchy. It also performs effectively in refined display settings—such as pull quotes, titles, and elegant brand/editorial headlines—where contrast and slant can add sophistication and momentum.
The tone is traditional and editorial, evoking printed literature and formal publishing. Its sharp italics and high-contrast modeling give it a refined, slightly dramatic voice that feels authoritative rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a polished, print-oriented rhythm. Its controlled contrast and bracketed serifs aim to deliver a classic, authoritative italic suitable for editorial emphasis and refined typographic hierarchy.
Uppercase forms carry a dignified, classical silhouette (notably in C, G, and Q), while the lowercase maintains smooth connections and a consistent slant that supports continuous text. The italic ‘a’ and ‘g’ are single-storey and the ‘f’ and ‘j’ show lively descenders, adding a subtle handwritten energy without becoming decorative.
