A high-contrast italic serif with a calligraphic slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes move from hairline terminals to weighty stems with noticeable, flowing modulation, and many joins show subtle teardrop-like swelling typical of pen-influenced italics. Capitals feel slightly narrow and upright-leaning in construction but consistently italicized, with sharp wedge entry strokes and clean finishing serifs. Lowercase forms are lively and compact, with pronounced diagonals and angled terminals; counters stay open enough for text while maintaining a distinctly formal rhythm. Numerals match the style with strong contrast and elegant curvature, including a more flowing, descender-like tail on the 9.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, and titles. It also fits refined print applications such as invitations, programs, and formal announcements, and can serve as an elegant display italic for headings when set with ample size and leading.
The font conveys a traditional, cultivated tone—more bookish and ceremonial than casual. Its energetic italic movement and sharp, polished details suggest formality and authority while still feeling elegant and expressive.
The design intention appears to be a conventional, highly legible italic serif with pronounced contrast and a traditional, pen-informed texture. It aims to provide a refined italic voice that complements classic text typography while offering enough character for prominent emphasis in editorial settings.
Spacing appears moderately generous in the sample text, helping the strong contrast and narrow italic forms remain legible at larger text sizes. The design leans on pointed, wedge-like terminals and long, sweeping diagonals, giving words a continuous forward motion without becoming overly decorative.
