A high-contrast italic serif with a calligraphic, chiseled feel. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with sharp, tapering entry and exit strokes and finely cut serifs that read as lightly bracketed rather than slabby. The italic slant is consistent and relatively steep, and the overall rhythm is lively, with narrow joints, pointed terminals, and slightly varied character widths that create a dynamic texture in text. Counters stay open despite the contrast, and rounded forms (C, O, G) maintain smooth, taut curves.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form passages where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It can also work for refined branding, invitations, and pull quotes where a classic, expressive serif italic can carry tone without appearing decorative.
The tone is classic and literary, with a polished, editorial elegance. Its crisp contrast and energetic italic movement add a hint of drama, making it feel more expressive than purely utilitarian while still grounded in traditional book typography.
The design appears intended as a traditional text serif italic that balances readability with expressive, calligraphic stroke behavior. Its high contrast, sharp detailing, and lively spacing suggest a focus on elegant emphasis in running text and polished display moments within editorial layouts.
Capitals have a stately presence with strong diagonal stress, while lowercase forms show pronounced italic construction (notably in a, f, g, y) that enhances flow. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with curved figures showing delicate hairlines and firm verticals, helping the set feel cohesive in continuous reading.
