A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a pronounced diagonal stress. The letterforms show tapered joins and sharp, wedge-like terminals that read as calligraphically influenced rather than mechanically drawn. Capitals are relatively wide and imposing, with strong hairline-to-stem transitions, while the lowercase maintains a steady, text-oriented x-height with lively curves and compact counters. Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel with varied silhouettes and strong thick–thin modulation, matching the energetic italic rhythm of the letters.
This style suits editorial typography—magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts—especially where italic emphasis is a primary voice rather than an accessory. It also performs well in headlines, pull quotes, and brand or packaging applications that benefit from a classic, high-contrast, premium look.
The overall tone is refined and emphatic, pairing traditional bookish authority with a touch of theatrical flair from the steep italic angle and dramatic contrast. It conveys sophistication and momentum, making text feel curated and intentional rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with heightened italic expressiveness—combining traditional proportions and serifs with calligraphic energy and strong contrast for confident emphasis in text and display settings.
The italic slant is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive forward motion in paragraphs. Round letters show pronounced contrast and tight internal spaces at display sizes, while the sharper diagonals and serifs keep edges crisp and articulate.
