This is a high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with thin hairlines and sturdier main stems, paired with bracketed wedge-like serifs and sharp, tapered terminals. Curves carry an oblique stress, and the overall texture is lively rather than rigid, with slightly varied character widths and generous, open counters that keep the face readable at text sizes. The italic forms are fully drawn (not merely slanted), with flowing joins and carefully shaped bowls and diagonals that give lines of text a smooth forward motion.
It suits long-form reading contexts such as books and journals, and it works especially well for editorial layouts where italic emphasis, quotes, and subheads need a refined voice. The lively contrast and forward slant also make it effective for pull quotes, introductions, and other text elements that benefit from an elevated, literary tone.
The tone is traditional and cultured, evoking book typography and editorial publishing. Its energetic italic stance feels expressive and articulate, while the crisp contrast and refined serifs maintain a formal, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with strong typographic color and elegant emphasis, balancing classic proportions with a more energetic, calligraphic stroke logic. It aims to provide a polished, publishable italic that can carry continuous text while still feeling expressive.
Uppercase italics read as dignified and spacious, while lowercase forms lean more cursive in their movement, creating a clear hierarchy for emphasis. Numerals are old-style in spirit with noticeable contrast and curved shaping, blending naturally with running text rather than standing apart as purely utilitarian figures.
