A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals and sharp joins, producing a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Uppercase forms are slightly condensed and poised, while the lowercase shows fluid entry/exit strokes and a compact, readable x-height. Numerals follow the same italic construction, with elegant curves and decisive hairlines that maintain an even overall color despite the contrast.
Well-suited for italic roles in long-form typography such as books and essays, as well as magazine layouts and refined editorial systems. It also works effectively for pull quotes, subtitles, and formal materials where a classic italic voice is desired.
The font conveys a traditional, cultured tone with an editorial polish. Its italic movement and sharp detailing add energy and sophistication, suggesting formality without feeling heavy or ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that emphasizes calligraphic contrast and traditional proportions, providing an expressive companion for sophisticated reading environments and polished editorial composition.
The texture in text settings reads clean and rhythmic, with clear letter differentiation and a consistent slant across cases and figures. Fine hairlines and pointed terminals are visually prominent, giving the face a crisp, engraved-like finish at display sizes.
