A lively italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a forward-leaning, calligraphic stress with tapered entry/exit strokes and crisp terminals that keep counters open despite the weight. Uppercase proportions are robust and slightly expansive, while the lowercase is more rhythmically varied, with energetic curves, a single-storey italic ‘a’, and flowing joins that create a strong word-shape in text.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book typography, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed with strong presence. It also works effectively for headlines, packaging, and brand applications that benefit from a traditional serif character with added dynamism.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a confident, editorial presence. Its dynamic slant and sculpted contrast add a sense of motion and sophistication, evoking traditional print typography while remaining assertive and contemporary in color.
The design appears intended as a versatile italic companion for conventional serif typography—delivering a strong typographic color and classic refinement while emphasizing motion, contrast, and expressive word-shapes for both text and display use.
The numerals follow the italic rhythm with clear contrast and curved forms, maintaining consistent texture alongside letters. Stroke endings and serifs are consistently sharp, producing a crisp, print-like finish that reads as intentional and refined at display sizes.
