An italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with tapered joins and crisp, wedge-like bracketed serifs that sharpen at the ends rather than forming heavy slabs. The lowercase has a flowing, slightly springy rhythm, with compact counters and a gently modulated stroke that keeps text dark and continuous. Capitals are more restrained and stable, pairing firm vertical presence with angled entry/exit strokes that match the italic movement. Figures follow the same slanted, serifed treatment, with open curves and pointed terminals that read cleanly at display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, introductions, or subheads. It can also serve in book interiors for traditional, serif-forward layouts and in magazines for elegant pull quotes and section headings where a classic italic texture is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking book typography and classic editorial styling. Its energetic italic forms add a sense of motion and sophistication, suited to refined, slightly dramatic emphasis rather than casual voice.
Likely intended as a conventional, text-oriented italic that balances readability with expressive, calligraphic character. The design appears focused on providing a polished italic companion for long-form settings while still offering enough sharp detail to perform in larger sizes.
The design relies on sharp terminals and tapered serifs to create sparkle along the baseline and cap line, while maintaining even color across words. Letterfit appears moderately tight, supporting cohesive word shapes in continuous text, and the italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
