A high-contrast serif italic with crisp, bracketed serifs and tapered stroke endings. The letterforms show a steady rightward slant and a lively, calligraphic modulation, with hairline joins and fuller verticals creating a clear thick–thin rhythm. Proportions feel traditional, with compact counters and slightly varied character widths that add a natural, text-like cadence. Numerals and capitals carry the same sharp terminals and disciplined stress, maintaining an even texture across mixed-case settings.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also works effectively for pull quotes, subheads, and refined headlines that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif presence.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and cultivated editorial styling. Its energetic italic movement adds a sense of elegance and emphasis without feeling flamboyant, making it read as refined and formal.
The font appears intended as a conventional serif italic for text and editorial composition, prioritizing a familiar, classical structure paired with crisp contrast and a readable, continuous flow in paragraphs.
The design’s sharp serifs and fine hairlines give it a crisp, print-oriented presence, while the italic construction keeps word shapes fluid and continuous. Spacing appears balanced for reading, with a consistent baseline and a controlled, dignified rhythm in longer lines.
