A high-contrast italic serif with tapered, bracketed wedge serifs and a pronounced diagonal stress. Strokes transition sharply from thick stems to hairline joins, with crisp, pointed terminals and a slightly calligraphic modulation throughout. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented, with compact counters in the capitals and more flowing, varied shapes in the lowercase. The italic angle is consistent and energetic, with clear entry/exit strokes that give lines of text a smooth, forward rhythm.
Well suited for book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or introductions. It can also serve as a refined display italic for headlines and pull quotes, especially where a traditional, high-contrast serif texture is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, combining formality with a lively, humanist italic movement. It reads as refined and established—appropriate for serious, traditional messaging—while still feeling expressive rather than rigid.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-first italic that adds sophistication and motion to serif typography. Its combination of sharp contrast, bracketed serifs, and controlled cursive details suggests an emphasis on elegant readability and classic publishing aesthetics.
Uppercase forms look sturdy and editorial, while the lowercase shows more pronounced cursive influence, especially in letters like a, f, g, and y. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italic logic and feel designed to sit comfortably within text without becoming overly ornamental.
