A high-contrast italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes move from hairline-thin joins to fuller stems, producing a lively diagonal rhythm and clear entry/exit terminals. The capitals are gently slanted with tapered wedges and sharp apexes, while the lowercase shows compact, rounded bowls and softly swelling curves; overall spacing feels moderately open with consistent, text-oriented proportions.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and cultured branding where an italic voice is desired. It is especially effective in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and formal printed pieces that benefit from high-contrast detail.
The tone is refined and bookish, with an old-world elegance that reads as cultured and deliberate. Its energetic italic movement adds a sense of narrative motion, making it feel expressive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, text-serif italic with strong contrast and a confident diagonal flow, suitable for sophisticated reading settings. It prioritizes traditional letterform cues and elegant modulation to deliver a familiar, literary feel with extra emphasis.
The italics show pronounced stroke modulation and pointed terminals, with a traditional serif vocabulary rather than geometric sharpness. Numerals and capitals carry the same contrast and slant, giving headings and short runs a cohesive, engraved-like polish.
