This is a high-contrast italic serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic, right-leaning construction. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation and diagonal stress, with tapered entry/exit strokes and crisp, slightly hooked terminals in places. Proportions are traditional and readable, with moderate ascenders and descenders and a normal x-height; spacing feels even, while individual glyph widths vary naturally in an old-style text rhythm. The numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast language, with elegant curves and slender joins.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or tone. It can also perform effectively in refined display roles—pull quotes, cultural programs, and formal printed pieces—when set with comfortable size and leading to accommodate the high contrast.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, suggesting traditional book typography and cultivated print design. Its crisp contrast and italic energy add a sense of refinement and emphasis, lending a formal, literary voice rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The design intention appears to be a conventional text serif italic that delivers a polished, traditional reading texture with pronounced contrast and a crafted, calligraphic slant. It aims to provide an elegant companion style for emphasis within classic serif typography, balancing clarity with a distinctly refined character.
In continuous text, the slanted forms create a smooth, forward-moving rhythm, and the sharp serifs help maintain line integrity at larger sizes. The italic shapes feel purpose-drawn (not merely mechanically slanted), with consistent modulation and coherent serif treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures.
