A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, finely tapered terminals. The serifs are bracketed and sharp, with an overall calligraphic modulation that creates a lively thick–thin rhythm. Uppercase forms feel open and generously proportioned, while lowercase shows compact joins and narrow counters that emphasize the italic flow. Numerals follow the same serifed, angled construction, with clear stroke contrast and traditional text-figure styling cues in the curves and terminals.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and other long-form reading contexts where a classic italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for pull quotes, introductions, and formal materials that benefit from a refined, expressive serif italic.
The tone is polished and literary, suggesting classic publishing and editorial typography. Its energetic slant and sharp finishing details add sophistication and a sense of forward motion, making it feel both traditional and expressive rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a conventional, book-oriented italic with pronounced contrast and traditional serif detailing, optimized to deliver a familiar literary tone while adding a crisp, calligraphic edge for emphasis and hierarchy in text.
In text settings, the strong contrast and pointed terminals create a distinct sparkle on the line, especially in diagonals and curved letters. The italic structure is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving paragraphs a cohesive, formal texture with noticeable character.
