A high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines and weighty main strokes, showing a clear calligraphic influence and diagonal stress. Serifs are bracketed and taper into the strokes, while terminals are sharp and slightly hooked, giving letters a forward, energetic motion. Proportions feel traditionally bookish with moderate ascenders and descenders, open counters, and a consistent slant; capitals remain stately while lowercase forms are more fluid and expressive. Numerals follow the same contrasty, angled construction, with pronounced curves and fine entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors (especially for emphasis), and refined long-form settings where an italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for pull quotes, headlines requiring a classic tone, and formal materials like invitations or programs where elegance and tradition are desired.
The tone is classic and cultured, with a refined, old-style elegance suited to formal and literary contexts. Its pronounced italic movement and crisp contrast add drama and sophistication, evoking traditional publishing and editorial typography rather than a neutral utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, high-contrast italic companion with a distinctly calligraphic cadence—balanced enough for continuous reading, yet expressive enough to signal emphasis and add a polished, literary character.
The slanted rhythm is strong and consistent across the set, producing a continuous, flowing texture in text. Fine details in joins and terminals suggest the design will look best with sufficient size or print quality where hairlines can remain clean and distinct.
