A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with crisp, pointed terminals and angled joins, giving the letterforms a cut-by-pen feel rather than purely geometric construction. Counters are moderately open and the rhythm is lively, with slightly varying set widths and a forward-moving texture that remains controlled and legible at text sizes. The numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, with elegant curves and angled stress.
This face is well suited to editorial typography—book interiors, magazine features, and refined long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and tasteful branding or packaging applications that benefit from high-contrast elegance and a traditional serif presence.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting old-style refinement with a touch of dramatic flair. Its energetic italic stance reads as expressive and polished, suitable for conveying prestige without becoming ornamental or whimsical.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional text-serif foundation expressed through a spirited, calligraphic italic, balancing readability with a cultivated, premium tone. Its tapered serifs and strong modulation aim to deliver a distinctive italic color for both continuous text and emphatic display settings.
Uppercase forms feel stately and spacious, while the lowercase italic introduces more motion through curved entry/exit strokes and pointed details. The italic ‘f’ and ‘j’ show prominent descending forms, and the ‘Q’ features an assertive sweeping tail, all reinforcing a distinctly editorial, traditional personality.
