A high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines and fuller diagonal strokes, creating a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with tapered terminals that emphasize the slanted, forward motion. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: moderate ascenders/descenders, rounded bowls with tight apertures in places, and a consistent italic stress across caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same angled, contrasty construction, with clear old-style influence in their curvature and stroke modulation.
Works well for editorial typography, book titling, and magazine features where an expressive italic is desired. It also suits formal invitations and refined branding applications, particularly for headlines, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium text where contrast and slant can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial flavor. Its pronounced contrast and energetic italic angle give it a refined, slightly dramatic voice suited to elegant, text-forward design.
Likely designed to provide a traditional, high-contrast italic companion with a clear calligraphic sensibility—adding emphasis and sophistication while keeping a conventional serif foundation for comfortable reading and classic typographic styling.
In the grid, the italic structure remains consistent from A–Z through a–z, with distinctive, swept forms on letters like J, Q, and y that reinforce the font’s flowing baseline movement. In the text sample, the spacing and rhythm read as cohesive at display and short-text sizes, where the strong stroke modulation and sharp terminals become part of the typographic personality.
