A high-contrast serif italic with a crisp, calligraphic stress and sharply tapered terminals. The serifs are bracketed and finely cut, with pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives strokes a chiseled, engraved look in display sizes. Italic construction is evident throughout, with flowing entry/exit strokes, teardrop-like terminals in places, and a lively baseline rhythm. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: moderate x-height, open counters, and slightly narrow lowercase forms that keep text compact while preserving clarity.
This face performs best in editorial and book contexts where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or titling. The sharp contrast and fine detailing also suit magazine typography and elegant print applications, especially at moderate-to-large sizes where its stroke modulation and terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting tradition and refinement rather than informality. Its pronounced contrast and elegant slant lend a cultured, editorial voice suited to sophisticated, text-forward design.
The design appears intended as a classic text companion italic: readable and structured, but with enough calligraphic energy to provide emphasis and tonal contrast within traditional serif typography.
In running text the rhythm is smooth and continuous, with strong diagonal emphasis typical of italic text faces. Capitals have restrained width and firm, sculpted serifs, while numerals share the same contrast and italic momentum, keeping mixed-content settings visually consistent.
