A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear diagonal axis. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, giving strokes a chiseled, engraved feel rather than blunt terminals. Capitals are stately and open, while lowercase forms are compact and lively, with brisk entry strokes and tapered exits that create a flowing rhythm. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with elegant curves and crisp terminals that stay consistent with the text face.
Works well for long-form reading in books and magazines, particularly where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis. It also suits editorial headlines, pull quotes, and refined collateral such as invitations or programs where a classic, polished tone is desired.
The overall tone is refined and literary—confident, traditional, and slightly dramatic. Its slant and sharp finishing details add a sense of motion and sophistication, suited to voices that feel cultured and editorial rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic, high-contrast flavor—balancing readability with a more expressive, formal character for editorial and literary typography.
Spacing appears moderately generous for an italic, helping counters stay clear despite the strong contrast. The italics show a pronounced forward lean and energetic curves in letters like a, e, s, and y, which emphasizes a graceful, continuous reading line.
