An italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply cut, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show calligraphic influence, with tapered terminals, lively entry strokes, and a rhythmic forward lean. Counters are relatively open for an italic, and the numerals and capitals carry a formal, engraved-like crispness while maintaining consistent texture across lines of text.
Well suited to book and magazine typography, particularly for italic emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, and chapter openers. It also fits formal branding moments such as invitations, certificates, and institutional communications where a classical italic voice is desired. The numerals and capitals can support tasteful titling and short display lines when set with adequate size and spacing.
This typeface conveys a classic, literary tone with a touch of ceremony. The italic stance and crisp contrast give it a confident, slightly dramatic voice suited to refined editorial settings rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended as a traditional text italic that brings emphasis and sophistication without becoming overly decorative. Its strong contrast and disciplined serif structure suggest a focus on articulate, bookish typography with enough personality to stand out in headlines or highlighted passages.
The lowercase shows distinctly italic constructions (notably in the flowing forms of a, f, g, y) with clear, energetic stroke endings. Overall spacing and rhythm in the sample text look even, producing a dark, authoritative typographic color typical of high-contrast italics.
