A high-contrast italic serif with a poised, slightly calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with crisp hairlines, tapered entry/exit strokes, and bracketed serifs that feel sharp yet controlled. The italic slant is steady and consistent, with compact, slightly narrow capitals and more fluid lowercase forms; counters remain open and the rhythm reads cleanly in continuous text. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic angle, with a graceful, text-like presence rather than a rigid, geometric feel.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and long-form reading where an italic companion is needed for emphasis. It also performs effectively in literary titles, pull quotes, and refined branding or invitations where a classic, high-contrast italic can add elegance and hierarchy.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking bookish sophistication and editorial formality. Its strong contrast and sweeping italics add a sense of flourish without becoming overly decorative, supporting a refined, classic voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with elevated contrast and a measured, traditional elegance, offering clear emphasis and a cultivated tone for editorial and literary settings.
Letterforms show a disciplined baseline and a balanced mix of crisp terminals and gently curved joins, giving the face a smooth reading flow. The italic is expressive enough for emphasis and display, while maintaining a conventional text-serif structure.
