A high-contrast serif italic with crisp hairlines and tapered, calligraphic joins. The letters show a rightward slant, narrow internal apertures, and pronounced thick–thin modulation that becomes especially delicate in the thin strokes and entry/exit terminals. Serifs are small and bracketed, and many strokes end in sharp, wedge-like finishing, giving the forms a clean, engraved feel. Uppercase proportions are moderately tall and stately, while the lowercase features compact counters, a two-storey “g,” and an overall lively rhythm typical of text italics.
Well-suited for book and editorial typography as an italic companion for emphasis, quotations, captions, and citations. It can also serve for refined headlines or deck lines in magazines and cultural communications where a classic, polished italic voice is desired.
The tone is traditional and cultured, with a poised, literary elegance. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing details suggest formality and sophistication, while the italic movement adds energy and a sense of narrative flow.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a distinctly refined, high-contrast voice. Its controlled slant, bracketed serifs, and sharp terminals aim to deliver elegant emphasis within long-form reading and editorial layouts.
Numerals and capitals maintain the same sharp contrast and angled stress, keeping a consistent color across mixed text. The design reads best when allowed sufficient size and leading so the finest hairlines don’t visually close up.
