A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a smooth, calligraphic flow. Stems are relatively sturdy while hairlines are fine and crisp, creating a bright, elegant rhythm across words. Serifs are bracketed and taper cleanly into the strokes, with sharp, slightly pointed terminals on many characters. Proportions feel classical and moderately condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase shows lively italics with looped and hooked forms; the overall texture is even and text-friendly despite the strong contrast.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice needs to carry both emphasis and elegance, such as magazine features, book interiors, introductions, and pull quotes. It can also serve as a refined headline or subhead italic, especially when paired with a more neutral roman companion.
The tone is polished and literary, evoking classic book typography and traditional editorial styling. Its slanted, high-contrast forms suggest sophistication and a sense of ceremony, making the voice feel cultured and slightly dramatic without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a classic, highly legible italic for text settings, balancing traditional serif construction with a lively, calligraphic slant. Its strong contrast and careful tapering aim to deliver a sophisticated typographic color for literary and editorial use.
The capitals read as stately and composed, with wide interior spaces in letters like O and D, while the lowercase brings more motion through curved entry/exit strokes and pronounced ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same italic energy and contrast, giving figures a formal, old-world feel that pairs naturally with running text.
