A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Stems show strong thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals, giving the letterforms a chiseled yet fluid rhythm. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase is more cursive in construction with single-story a and g, a lively italic f, and a gently varying texture across the line. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, with elegant curves and angled stress that keep them consistent with the text tone.
Well-suited for italic roles in books and editorial typography—emphasis, quotations, and secondary hierarchy—where its contrast and slant can add articulation without becoming ornate. It also works for refined titles, pull quotes, and formal printed pieces where a classic serif italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an editorial formality that reads as cultivated rather than decorative. The sharp serifs and steep contrast add refinement, while the italic movement brings a sense of pace and emphasis suitable for classical typography.
This design appears intended as a conventional text italic with a classic serif heritage, balancing formal structure in the capitals with a more calligraphic, flowing lowercase. The strong contrast and crisp finishing suggest an aim for elegance and clarity in print-oriented, editorial contexts.
Spacing appears set for continuous reading, with a smooth, slightly shimmering texture typical of high-contrast italics. Diagonal strokes and entry/exit strokes are prominent, helping the face maintain continuity in longer passages and giving punctuation and capitals a confident presence.
