A high-contrast italic serif with strongly bracketed serifs and tapered, calligraphic terminals. Strokes show clear diagonal stress and pronounced thick–thin modulation, producing a crisp texture even at display sizes. The capitals are slightly condensed and forward-leaning with sharp entry strokes, while the lowercase has a moderate x-height and flowing joins, including single-storey forms and prominent ascenders/descenders that add rhythm. Figures follow the same italic slant and contrast, with curving bowls and wedge-like finishing strokes that keep the set cohesive.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, and pull quotes. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, refined branding lines, and formal invitations when a classic, high-contrast italic is desired.
The overall tone reads traditional and cultivated, with an energetic italic motion that feels literary and editorial rather than decorative. Its crisp contrast and braced serifs suggest authority and polish, while the lively curves keep it expressive and engaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with a strong calligraphic backbone—built to deliver a classic, authoritative feel while maintaining a lively, readable rhythm across paragraphs and display excerpts.
Spacing appears open enough for continuous reading, but the strong slant and contrast create a pronounced pattern that will be most noticeable in longer passages and at larger sizes. The design’s angular beaks, hooked terminals, and decisive serifs give it a distinctly classical, print-oriented character.
