A right-leaning serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are smooth and slightly tensioned, with tapered terminals and crisp joins that give the strokes a calligraphic snap. Capitals feel broad and open, with confident diagonals and strong horizontals; the overall rhythm is energetic but controlled. Lowercase forms show a moderate x-height with elegant ascenders and descenders, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast, slightly sculpted construction for a cohesive text color.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, essays, and book interiors where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits branding and packaging that aims for a classic, premium impression, and can work effectively in pull quotes, titles, and refined stationery when set with adequate size and leading.
The tone is traditional and cultured, evoking bookish refinement and editorial polish. Its italic slant and high contrast add a sense of motion and sophistication, suggesting formality without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast italic serif that delivers a polished literary feel while remaining readable in continuous text. Its emphasis on crisp serifs, tapered terminals, and steady rhythm suggests a focus on traditional typography for editorial and book-oriented applications.
Spacing reads intentionally a bit generous, helping the lively stroke contrast stay clear in setting. The design balances crisp wedge-like details with smooth, continuous curves, producing a recognizable, classical italic texture in paragraphs and headlines.
