This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a strong thick–thin modulation with diagonal stress, giving counters a slightly calligraphic feel. The capitals are stately and open, with sharp wedge-like finishing strokes, while the lowercase maintains an even, readable x-height and a flowing, text-oriented rhythm. Figures are lining and similarly italicized, with clear contrast and elegant curves that match the letterforms.
Well suited for book and long-form editorial italics, especially for emphasis, quotations, and running text where a traditional serif voice is needed. It also performs nicely in refined headlines, pull quotes, and cultured branding where an elegant italic presence can carry tone and hierarchy.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a refined, editorial elegance. Its italic energy feels expressive without becoming decorative, suggesting tradition, formality, and careful craft.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that delivers a classical, print-like voice with strong contrast and disciplined detail. It aims to provide expressive emphasis within typographic systems while remaining readable and composed.
Spacing and rhythm lean toward a comfortable text color, with enough contrast and sharpness to read as premium in display sizes. The italic forms maintain clear silhouettes across the alphabet, balancing flourish with restraint for continuous reading.
