A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced slant and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with thin hairlines and heavier main strokes that create a lively, modulated rhythm. Capitals feel tall and stately with gently flared entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms show calligraphic influences—single‑storey “a,” looped descenders, and softly cupped joins. Spacing reads balanced for text, with clear word shapes and consistent stroke logic across letters and numerals.
Well-suited for long-form typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, titles within text, or captions with a classic feel. It also fits editorial and magazine layouts, formal stationery, and elegant short-form copy where high contrast and a traditional serif italic character are desirable.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, evoking traditional book typography and formal editorial settings. Its slanted, high-contrast construction adds a sense of elegance and motion, leaning more refined than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented serif italic that delivers clear emphasis with a polished, traditional look. Its calligraphic modulation and sharp, bracketed detailing suggest a focus on elegant reading rhythm and familiar literary tone rather than novelty.
Numerals follow the same italic, modulated logic as the letters, with curved forms and delicate hairline details that stand out at larger sizes. The design favors clean, sharp finishing over rounded softness, giving it a crisp page-color and a distinctly classic italic voice.
