A high-contrast italic serif with a clear rightward slant and crisp, tapered hairlines. The forms show bracketed serifs and pointed terminals, with pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads as calligraphic but controlled. Capitals are moderately narrow and slightly swept, while lowercase letters are compact with a conventional x-height and lively entry/exit strokes. The rhythm is even and texty, with smooth curves, tight joins, and an overall refined, slightly sharp finish.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or section leads. It also performs nicely in refined display roles—chapter titles, pull quotes, or elegant invitations—where its contrast and sharp terminals can read as premium and traditional.
The tone is classic and cultivated, suggesting tradition and seriousness rather than playfulness. Its italic energy adds motion and emphasis while remaining polished and bookish, lending an air of formality and editorial sophistication.
The design intention appears to be a conventional, readable italic serif that balances classic book typography with a clean, high-contrast finish. It aims to provide a dependable italic companion for text while remaining distinctive enough for tasteful headlines.
Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic and appear designed to sit comfortably alongside text. Overall spacing feels measured for continuous reading, with enough calligraphic character to stand out in titles without becoming decorative.
