A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered serifs and a disciplined, bookish rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with slender hairlines and firm main stems, giving the letters a crisp, engraved feel. Proportions are moderately narrow with a steady x-height, while the italic construction uses a clear forward slant and subtly calligraphic joins that keep counters open and legible. Numerals and capitals share the same polished contrast and angled stress, producing an even, composed texture in lines of text.
Well suited for book and magazine typography, especially for emphasis, pull quotes, and refined subheads where an italic with presence is needed. It also fits formal invitations, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, high-contrast serif voice.
The tone is refined and literary, suggesting traditional publishing, classic editorial typography, and formal communication. Its contrast and italic posture add elegance and motion, creating a poised, slightly dramatic voice without becoming ornamental.
Likely intended as a conventional text-family italic that brings traditional serif sophistication to editorial settings. The design balances demonstrated contrast and calligraphic energy with restrained proportions to stay readable and composed in paragraph use.
The italic is expressive but controlled: terminals are clean and pointed, curves feel taut, and spacing remains relatively even for a high-contrast design. Capitals read authoritative and ceremonial, while lowercase forms maintain a smooth cursive flow suitable for continuous reading at moderate sizes.
