A high-contrast serif italic with crisp, tapered strokes and bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant and an engraved, calligraphic construction: thick verticals and strong main diagonals paired with hairline joins and terminals. Curves are compact and well-controlled, with pointed entry strokes and sharp finishing strokes that keep the texture lively. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly wide in feel, while the lowercase maintains a readable, bookish rhythm with clear ascenders and descenders and a moderate x-height.
Well-suited for editorial typography where italic emphasis is prominent, including book and magazine settings, introductions, and captions. The strong contrast and lively stroke endings also make it effective for pull quotes, refined headlines, and formal materials such as invitations or programs when set at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is formal and literary, with a classic, editorial presence. Its sharp contrast and italic motion lend an elegant, slightly dramatic voice suited to refined typography rather than casual messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif italic with pronounced contrast and a disciplined, print-oriented texture, balancing elegance with readability for classic publishing contexts.
Numerals and capitals share the same high-contrast stress and tapered finishing, giving a cohesive look across display settings. The italic structure remains steady in long text, creating a smooth diagonal flow while retaining crisp detail at joins and serifs.
