This is a high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines and sturdier main strokes. Serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with a distinctly calligraphic rhythm created by diagonal stress and angled terminals. Proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow, while the overall spacing remains even and text-ready. The italic construction is clear in the slanted axis, flowing joins, and the lively, curved entry/exit strokes across both capitals and lowercase; figures follow the same sloped, contrasty model.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where an italic with strong contrast is needed for emphasis, quotes, or titles. It also works effectively for refined print applications such as magazine features, literary branding, and formal stationery where a traditional italic voice is desired.
The tone is classical and polished, evoking book typography and editorial refinement. Its energetic italic movement adds sophistication and a sense of cultured formality without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented italic serif that balances sharp contrast with stable proportions, aiming for a classic literary color and clear emphasis in running copy.
Capitals show a measured, dignified stance with sharp internal contrast, while lowercase forms keep counters open enough for continuous reading. Numerals appear lining-style and lean with the text, maintaining the same sharp hairline details and brisk, elegant curves.
