A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. The capitals are stately and slightly wide with flowing, tapered entry and exit strokes, while the lowercase shows a lively diagonal rhythm and compact, well-defined counters. Curves are smooth and disciplined, with sharp terminals and clear calligraphic influence visible in letters like a, f, g, and y. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, blending naturally with text and maintaining a consistent baseline and color.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and refined marketing materials, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, titling, or pull quotes. It also works in identity and packaging contexts that benefit from a classic, authoritative serif presence.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking bookish elegance and editorial seriousness. Its energetic italic movement adds a sense of sophistication and emphasis without feeling decorative or casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a polished, book-oriented feel—balancing readability with elegant, calligraphic motion for emphasis and refined tone in running text and display settings.
The italic angle is steady across the set, producing a cohesive texture in continuous text. Contrast peaks in verticals and main stems, with hairline connections and terminals that stay clean at display sizes.
