A high-contrast italic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a lively, calligraphic stroke flow. The letterforms show a pronounced diagonal axis with tapered terminals and crisp hairlines, creating a dynamic rhythm across words. Proportions lean traditional, with slightly varying glyph widths and generous curves that keep counters open in both text and numerals. The italic construction is assertive, with energetic joins and angled entry/exit strokes that read clearly at display and robust text sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book typography, essays, and classic publishing layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also performs well in headlines, pull quotes, and title treatments that benefit from high-contrast elegance and a traditional serif presence.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, suggesting heritage book typography with a refined, cultured voice. Its sharp contrast and confident slant add drama and sophistication, making it feel formal without becoming rigid. The font projects a literary, established mood suited to premium or traditional contexts.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, bookish italic with elevated contrast and a calligraphic sensibility, offering a distinctive yet familiar texture for reading and emphasis. It balances crisp detail with steady proportions to deliver an expressive italic that still behaves like a traditional text serif.
Capitals present strong, sculpted silhouettes with clean serifs and controlled flare, while lowercase forms emphasize flowing movement and pointed terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic cadence, maintaining consistency in texture and emphasis within mixed text.
