A high-contrast serif italic with a crisp, bookish skeleton and bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes show clear diagonal stress and pronounced thick–thin transitions, with tapered entry/exit strokes and subtly sharpened terminals. The italic construction leans consistently with fluid joins and a rhythmic, slightly calligraphic movement, while counters stay relatively open for a refined, legible texture. Numerals follow the same contrasty, angled logic and sit comfortably alongside the text forms.
Well suited to long-form editorial typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotes, captions, and scholarly apparatus. It can also serve as an elegant display italic for literary titles, pull quotes, and refined branding that benefits from a classic serif voice.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, suggesting literature, academia, and editorial polish. Its italic voice feels expressive without becoming decorative, conveying elegance, seriousness, and a touch of old-world formality.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic that balances readability with a distinctly calligraphic, high-contrast character. It aims to provide an expressive companion style for editorial and book typography while maintaining a disciplined, classic structure.
Capital forms are stately and relatively narrow, helping create a clean vertical cadence, while lowercase forms provide lively italic differentiation through tapered terminals and modest swash-like finishing on select letters. Overall spacing reads even in text, producing a smooth, slightly shimmering line typical of contrasty italics.
