A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, engraved feel. Strokes taper into fine terminals, and the serifs are small and bracketed, giving the letterforms a sharp yet controlled finish. Proportions are moderately narrow with a lively italic rhythm and slightly varied character widths; curves are clean and compact while joins stay tight and precise. Numerals and capitals keep the same high-contrast logic, reading elegant rather than heavy.
Well-suited to book and editorial typography, especially for emphasis, pull quotes, headlines, and refined body settings where an italic voice is desired. It can also serve formal stationery and invitations, or branding that aims for a classic, cultivated impression.
The overall tone is cultivated and traditional, suggesting bookish sophistication and old-world polish. Its italic motion adds a sense of pace and emphasis, making it feel expressive without becoming decorative or whimsical.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic companion with clear typographic authority—combining high-contrast elegance, compact proportions, and a measured calligraphic slant for readable, upscale composition.
The italic construction is evident across both cases, with single-storey forms like the lowercase a and g and a flowing, calligraphy-informed ductus. In text, the contrast and fine details become more prominent, favoring careful typesetting and adequate size for best clarity.
