A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs. The strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation and a consistent rightward slant, giving the letterforms a quick, calligraphic rhythm. Proportions feel compact through the lowercase, with a relatively small x-height and long ascenders/descenders; uppercase forms are broad and dignified, with generous curves and narrow joins. Numerals and punctuation follow the same chiseled, pointed logic, maintaining a crisp silhouette at text sizes.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books and long-form editorial layouts where an italic serif is needed for emphasis, quotations, or elegant narrative texture. It also works effectively for refined headings, pull quotes, and formal printed materials that benefit from a classic, high-contrast look.
The overall tone is polished and literary, balancing elegance with a slightly dramatic, expressive slant. It reads as traditional and authoritative, with an editorial voice that feels at home in cultured, print-oriented settings.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, text-ready italic with a distinctly calligraphic edge—prioritizing refined contrast, crisp finishing, and a smooth, readable rhythm across paragraphs.
The italic construction is assertive rather than purely oblique, with many letters showing true italic shaping and lively entry/exit strokes. Spacing appears moderate, producing a smooth line color in paragraphs while preserving distinct, sharp detail in the serifs and terminals.
