A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, tapered serifs and a distinctly calligraphic modulation. Strokes shift from fine hairlines to robust main stems, with smooth joining and gently bracketed terminals that keep the forms elegant rather than sharp. Capitals are slightly condensed and stately with pronounced diagonals and confident, sweeping entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase shows a moderate x-height and lively, rounded counters. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with noticeable curves, angled stress, and varied widths that add rhythm in text.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, citations, pull quotes, or refined subheads. It can also serve effectively in titles and short passages that benefit from a classic, cultured tone and a clearly articulated serif structure.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, evoking bookish authority and a sense of cultivated formality. Its italic slant and lively stroke endings add motion and warmth, making it feel expressive without becoming decorative.
Designed to provide a traditional italic companion with strong contrast and a fluent, calligraphic rhythm, balancing elegance with readability. The intent appears to be a conventional serif italic that performs in text while offering enough character for prominent editorial moments.
In continuous text the face creates a strong diagonal flow, aided by generous curves, open apertures, and consistent contrast patterning. The italic construction reads as purpose-drawn rather than simply slanted, with carefully shaped terminals and a cohesive, editorial texture.
