A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic stress. The strokes show strong thick–thin modulation, with tapered terminals and crisp wedge-like finishing on many letters. Proportions lean slightly condensed in the caps while the lowercase feels more fluid and varied, with pronounced diagonals and a forward-leaning rhythm. Counters are generally open and oval, and the numerals echo the same contrast and angled stance for a cohesive text color.
Well-suited to book typography, magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts, and any application needing an elegant italic voice for emphasis such as pull quotes, intros, and subheads. It can also serve effectively in refined branding or formal stationery where a traditional serif italic is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an editorial polish that reads as cultured and intentional rather than decorative. Its lively italic movement adds energy and sophistication, suggesting tradition, authority, and a slightly dramatic emphasis when used in running text.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional text serif italic with clear classical roots, emphasizing a calligraphic feel and strong contrast to deliver elegance and emphasis in editorial and literary settings.
The italic is assertive and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a strong diagonal flow line-by-line. Contrast and sharp details become a defining feature at display sizes, while the dense, inky thick strokes create a confident texture in paragraphs.
