A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a steady rightward slant. The serifs are bracketed and sharp, with tapered terminals and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Capitals feel slightly compact and sculpted, while the lowercase shows lively entry and exit strokes, a single-storey italic “a,” and rounded forms with angled stress. Numerals match the text style with curving, old-style-like silhouettes and consistent contrast, keeping the overall texture crisp and refined in running settings.
Well-suited to editorial and literary applications where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, and refined headlines. It can also work effectively in formal invitations and brand materials that benefit from a traditional, high-contrast serif italic with a dignified tone.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish elegance with an assured, slightly dramatic italic voice. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast give it a polished, cultivated tone suited to refined communication rather than casual messaging.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable italic serif with heightened contrast and a calligraphic underpinning, offering an expressive companion for text and display while retaining a disciplined, classical structure.
In text, the italic’s curvature and tapering create a flowing line with noticeable sparkle from the contrast, while the compact spacing and pointed serifs maintain definition at larger sizes. The ampersand is expressive and calligraphy-leaning, reinforcing a classic editorial character.
