A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, bracketed wedge serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes show a calligraphic, slightly oblique stress, with tapered terminals and crisp joins that keep counters open despite the slant. Proportions are moderately compact with a steady rhythm, while capitals feel stately and slightly narrow compared to the more flowing lowercase. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with curved forms and firm baseline presence.
Well-suited to editorial typography, literary titling, pull quotes, and refined printed materials where a confident italic voice is needed. It can also work for short-form text and captions in layouts that benefit from a classic, high-contrast texture, especially at moderate to larger sizes.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, with an elegant, editorial seriousness. Its italic energy reads cultured and expressive rather than casual, suggesting tradition, ceremony, and polished writing.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic with elevated contrast and traditional serif detailing, offering a polished companion for formal text settings and sophisticated display emphasis.
The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the design relies on crisp serif geometry to maintain structure at display sizes. Curved letters emphasize smooth, continuous motion, while straight-sided forms retain a disciplined, print-like stability.
