A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, bracketed wedge serifs and a pronounced diagonal axis. Strokes transition quickly from hairlines to strong stems, creating crisp sparkle in text, while entry and exit strokes show calligraphic shaping and gently tapered terminals. Proportions feel moderately compact with slightly lively, varying letter widths and a steady rightward slant. Numerals and capitals carry the same clean contrast and pointed serif treatment, keeping the overall rhythm precise and well-paced.
Well-suited for book and magazine typography where italic emphasis is needed, including quotations, captions, and pull quotes. The crisp contrast and classic serif detailing also make it appropriate for formal stationery, invitations, and tasteful branding when used at moderate-to-large sizes.
The tone is traditional and polished, with a distinctly literary, editorial elegance. Its italic motion and bright contrast suggest formality and sophistication rather than casual friendliness, evoking classic book typography and refined print settings.
Designed to provide a classic italic companion for conventional serif typography, emphasizing calligraphic movement and high-contrast refinement while staying disciplined enough for continuous text.
Counters are relatively open for an italic of this contrast level, helping maintain clarity in running text. The italic forms read as true italics rather than simple obliques, with noticeable cursive construction in several lowercase letters and a cohesive, consistent serif logic across the set.
