This is an italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a forward, calligraphic slant. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, with several ball terminals and curved entry/exit strokes that give the letters a lively rhythm. The proportions feel slightly compact and sturdy in the stems, while the round forms stay open and smoothly modeled. Numerals and capitals show strong presence with crisp joins and a consistent, high-contrast texture that reads clearly at display and larger text sizes.
It suits editorial applications where a strong italic voice is useful—magazine headlines, subheads, standfirsts, and pull quotes. The weight and contrast also make it effective for book covers and packaging that want a traditional, premium feel. In longer settings it will read best when given comfortable size and spacing so the dense, high-contrast texture can breathe.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with an assertive, slightly dramatic italic energy. It suggests traditional print typography—confident, literary, and formal—while the curved terminals and lively stroke endings add warmth and motion.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif italic with heightened contrast and a confident, display-ready presence, while maintaining familiar letterforms for straightforward reading. Its detailing emphasizes italic motion and typographic color over minimalism, aiming for a classic printed-page character.
The italic construction produces a clear diagonal flow across words, and the strong contrast creates a bright, striped texture in paragraphs. Curved terminals and occasional ball endings soften the otherwise authoritative weight, making it feel both refined and emphatic.
