A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that read clearly at text sizes. The strokes show a pronounced thick–thin modulation and a consistent rightward slant, with smooth, continuous curves and pointed joins in letters like V, W, and v. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: moderate ascenders/descenders, open counters, and a slightly compact, rhythmically even lowercase that maintains clarity despite the lively italic movement. Numerals follow the same calligraphic stress, with strong diagonals and refined entry/exit strokes.
This font suits extended reading in books and long-form editorial layouts, especially where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis. It also performs well for magazine typography, pull quotes, and refined headings that benefit from high-contrast detail.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, evoking classic publishing and editorial typography. Its italic energy feels expressive yet controlled, giving text a cultured, authoritative voice rather than a playful one.
The design appears intended as a conventional, publication-oriented serif italic that balances readability with a polished, classical flavor. It prioritizes clear text rhythm and traditional italic nuance to support editorial and literary typography.
The italic construction is consistently calligraphic across caps and lowercase, with distinctive swash-like beginnings and tapered endings on several forms. Spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, and the sharp serifs and strong contrast give the design a crisp, engraved quality in larger settings.
