A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, finely tapered hairlines and stronger main strokes. The design is noticeably sheared, with lively entry and exit strokes that echo broad-nib calligraphy, and bracketed serifs that stay crisp rather than heavy. Curves show diagonal stress, and terminals often end in pointed or wedge-like cuts, giving the outlines a sleek, slightly dramatic profile. Proportions feel traditional, with a moderate x-height and italic forms that remain clear and structured in both capitals and lowercase.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and feature introductions where an expressive italic voice is needed. It can also serve effectively in refined branding, packaging accents, invitations, and other formal materials where contrast and elegant motion are desirable.
The overall tone is polished and literary, conveying a sense of tradition and formality without feeling stiff. Its energetic slant and crisp contrast add a touch of sophistication suited to classic editorial and cultural contexts.
The font appears designed as a conventional text serif italic with elevated contrast and a calligraphic sensibility, intended to provide a distinguished, articulate emphasis style for reading-oriented layouts and premium communication.
In the sample text the italics maintain strong rhythm and distinct word shapes, with especially prominent swash-like ascenders and confident, sculpted capitals. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and slanted posture, helping headings and pull quotes feel cohesive.
