A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and relatively fine, with a crisp, engraved feel in the joins and hairlines. The italic construction is evident in the slanted axis, flowing entry/exit strokes, and gently calligraphic curves, while capitals remain stately and well-proportioned. Spacing reads open and even, giving the forms a light, airy color despite the strong vertical strokes.
Works well for editorial typography—magazine features, book typography (especially for emphasis or titling), and refined brand or event materials where an italic serif voice is desired. It is particularly effective at larger text sizes for headlines, pull quotes, and elegant short passages where the contrast and hairlines can shine.
The overall tone is classic and literary, balancing formality with a sense of motion from the italic rhythm. It feels polished and traditional, suited to sophisticated, editorial settings rather than utilitarian interface work.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, high-contrast italic companion for sophisticated composition, emphasizing elegance, readability in continuous text, and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm.
Figures show noticeable contrast and stylized shapes, with curved forms (like 2, 3, 8, 9) taking on a slightly decorative, old-style character. The lowercase includes a single-storey g and a lively italic y with a pronounced descender, reinforcing the calligraphic influence and expressive texture in running text.
