A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals. The forms are compact and slightly narrow in feel, with elegant, bracketed serifs and a consistent rightward slant that creates a lively diagonal rhythm across words. Counters are relatively open for an italic, while entry/exit strokes and angled stress emphasize a calligraphic influence without becoming script-like.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where italic is used for emphasis, quotations, or running text with a traditional tone. It can also serve branding applications that need a classic, upscale feel—such as cultural institutions, publishing marks, invitations, and refined packaging—especially when set at medium to larger sizes where the contrast and serif detail can shine.
This typeface conveys a classic, literary mood with a distinctly formal, editorial voice. Its energetic italic slant and crisp contrast add a sense of refinement and momentum, suggesting sophistication rather than casual informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice in an italic style suited to emphasis and narrative flow. Its strong contrast and disciplined serif detailing aim for a polished, bookish character that reads as authoritative and cultivated while remaining suitable for extended lines of text.
The numerals follow the same high-contrast, italic construction, matching the overall cadence of the alphabet. Across the sample text, word shapes maintain a steady slanted rhythm, with sharp joins and tapered strokes giving the face a crisp, print-oriented texture.
