A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and tapered, wedge-like terminals. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation and an oblique axis, creating a lively diagonal rhythm through both capitals and lowercase. The letterforms are moderately narrow with generous sidebearings, and curves finish in sharp, clean points; joins and entry/exit strokes feel pen-informed without becoming decorative. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with smooth curves and clear, open shapes that match the text color of the alphabet.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary publications where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or extended setting. It also works effectively in refined display applications—quotes, pull quotes, invitations, and formal branding—where contrast and slant can convey elegance and tradition.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, leaning toward a literary, editorial elegance. Its energetic slant and crisp contrast add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, suitable for content that aims to feel cultured and authoritative rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented italic serif that balances classical proportions with crisp, high-contrast detailing. It aims to deliver an authoritative, cultured voice with enough calligraphic motion to stay expressive in both short passages and longer reading.
Capitals read stately and slightly restrained, while the lowercase carries more movement through angled stems and flowing terminals. The design maintains a consistent texture in running text, with clear differentiation between similarly shaped characters and a smooth baseline flow typical of classic italic serifs.
