A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered stroke endings. The serifs are bracketed and delicately flared, with sharp triangular terminals appearing on several capitals and diagonals, giving the forms a chiseled, energetic edge. Curves are smooth and compact, counters are relatively open, and the overall rhythm is lively, with noticeable modulation between thick verticals and hairline joins. Figures and capitals feel slightly varying in width from glyph to glyph, contributing to an organically paced texture in setting.
It performs well in editorial typography where an italic voice is needed—magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes—especially at text-to-display sizes where its contrast and crisp terminals can shine. It also suits formal materials such as invitations, programs, and refined brand headlines that benefit from a classic italic emphasis.
The font conveys a refined, literary tone—polished and traditional, yet animated by its italic momentum. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, suitable for high-end editorial or classic branding contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic that balances classical structure with a more incisive, high-contrast finish. It aims to provide a sophisticated, expressive italic for emphasis and display moments while maintaining readable proportions for continuous setting.
Uppercase letters present a stately silhouette with clean, classical proportions, while lowercase italics lean more calligraphic, with distinctive entry/exit strokes and brisk, angled terminals. The numerals follow the same contrast and slanted posture, reading clearly with a tailored, old-world flavor.
