A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairlines, tapered strokes, and bracketed wedge-like ser—from the capitals to the figures. The slant is consistent and moderately steep, with a tight horizontal footprint and lively rhythm. Letterforms show calligraphic modulation: thin entry/exit strokes, pointed terminals, and gently swelling curves that keep counters open despite the narrow set. Numerals follow the same logic, mixing strong main strokes with delicate connecting hairlines for a cohesive text color.
Best suited for italic roles in long-form typography—book and magazine text, quotes, captions, and emphasis—where its contrast and rhythm can add nuance without overwhelming the page. It can also serve in refined headlines or short display lines when a classic, formal italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a poised, editorial sophistication. Its crisp contrast and sweeping italics add a sense of ceremony and motion, suggesting formality without feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that brings classical calligraphic energy into a controlled, publication-friendly structure. Its narrow set, consistent slant, and disciplined contrast suggest a focus on creating elegant emphasis and clear hierarchy in editorial layouts.
Capitals are elegant and slightly restrained, with clean, minimal flourish; the italic ‘Q’ and ‘R’ show distinctive diagonal movement and sharp finishing strokes. The lowercase maintains a readable texture, with a single-storey ‘g’ and compact, angled forms that emphasize pace and line continuity.
