A compact, oblique serif with tapered, flared stroke endings and clearly bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than slabbed. Strokes show a steady contrast with sharpened terminals and slightly calligraphic joins, producing a crisp, energetic texture in text. Proportions are tight and space-efficient, with narrow set widths and a normal x-height that keeps lowercase forms legible while maintaining a traditional italic silhouette. Numerals and capitals echo the same angled stress and wedge-like finishing, staying consistent in rhythm and weight.
Well suited to book and magazine typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, intros, or extended passages. The compact width and crisp serifs also make it effective for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding where a traditional yet lively italic presence is desirable.
The overall tone reads editorial and literary, with a classical, slightly dramatic slant that suggests seriousness and craft. It feels refined and assertive rather than casual, lending a sense of tradition and authority to headlines and quotations.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic with a flared, calligraphic finish—combining compact proportions with crisp, tapered terminals to create an authoritative, editorial texture that remains readable in continuous text.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to create forward motion in paragraphs, and the consistent tapering at stroke ends gives lines a subtly engraved, high-contrast sparkle without becoming delicate. Round letters remain controlled and compact, helping the font hold together well in dense settings.
