This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered stroke endings. Bracketed, wedge-like serifs and pointed terminals give the letterforms a cut-pen feel, while the contrast between thick main strokes and hairline connections is clear in both capitals and lowercase. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with compact, flowing lowercase forms and a slightly varied rhythm across letters typical of italic construction. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with curled entries and exits that keep the texture lively in running text.
It works well for book and editorial typography where an italic voice is needed with clear sophistication—titles, subtitles, pull quotes, and short passages. It can also serve branding, packaging accents, and formal invitations where a traditional, high-contrast italic adds prestige and motion.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone with an elegant, slightly dramatic flourish. Its sharp terminals and lively italic motion feel formal and cultivated, suited to sophisticated typography rather than utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic companion with a distinctly calligraphic edge—balancing readable, conventional serif structure with sharper, more expressive terminals and a lively, slanted rhythm.
Capitals are relatively restrained for an italic, but still show distinctive calligraphic shaping and tapered joins. Curved letters and diagonals create a strong sense of movement, and the overall color on the page is crisp, with fine hairlines that emphasize the refined finish.
