This typeface is an italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a right-leaning, calligraphic skeleton. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with tapered entry and exit strokes that sharpen at terminals. Counters are generally open and oval with a noticeable diagonal stress, while joins and curves show smooth, pen-like transitions. The lowercase features compact, rhythmic forms with energetic ascenders and descenders, and the figures follow the same italic, high-contrast logic with elegant curves and tapered ends.
This font suits editorial design, book and magazine typography, and other settings where a classic italic voice is needed for emphasis or personality. It is especially effective for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short passages where its high-contrast strokes and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It can also work well for formal announcements and invitations when a refined, traditional tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking bookish elegance and a sense of old-world refinement. Its slanted movement and sharp terminals add a touch of drama and sophistication, making it feel more expressive than a neutral text face while still staying firmly in the classic serif tradition.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic companion with a distinctly calligraphic character—balancing readability with expressive, high-contrast elegance. Its details suggest an aim toward literary and editorial contexts where italic emphasis should feel intentional and visually rich rather than merely slanted roman forms.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and pointed terminals create a vivid texture at larger sizes, while the italic slant helps guide the eye along lines. Curved letters and diagonals (such as in W, V, and y) show particularly fluid stroke endings, contributing to an energetic, slightly theatrical rhythm.
