A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes, crisp hairlines, and bracketed wedge-like serifs that give the forms a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, with lively entry/exit strokes and gently swelling stems that create a rhythmic, forward-moving texture. Uppercase forms feel stately and compact, while the lowercase shows elegant cursive influence, including a single-storey a and g, a long descending f, and a teardrop-like terminal on j. Numerals are lining and similarly high-contrast, with pointed terminals and a refined, slightly dramatic silhouette.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where an italic with presence is needed for emphasis, leads, or pull quotes. It also works effectively for refined headlines and premium branding applications that benefit from a classic serif voice and a dynamic slant.
The overall tone is elegant and traditional, with a polished, literary character suited to cultured, editorial settings. Its strong contrast and sweeping italics add a sense of sophistication and emphasis, reading as confident, formal, and slightly dramatic rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast italic serif that balances readability with expressive, calligraphy-informed detailing. It aims to provide a sophisticated italic voice for text and display roles, delivering elegant emphasis while maintaining a traditional, trustworthy typographic tone.
In running text the bright hairlines and sharp terminals create a crisp sparkle, especially at larger sizes and in headings. The italic construction is expressive without becoming overly decorative, keeping a disciplined, bookish structure while still feeling dynamic.
