This is a slanted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that taper into the stems. Curves are smoothly drawn with a slightly calligraphic feel, and the italics show clear entry/exit strokes and angled stress, especially in round letters. Uppercase forms are stately and open, while the lowercase has compact counters and a rhythmic, slightly lively texture. Numerals follow the same modulated, serifed construction and harmonize well with the letterforms.
It suits editorial and long-form settings where an elegant italic voice is needed—introductions, pull quotes, captions, and emphasis within body text. The refined contrast also makes it effective for premium branding, invitations, and formal announcements when set at comfortable reading sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, suggesting bookish refinement rather than display flamboyance. Its high-contrast, flowing italics read as expressive and editorial, with a poised, formal presence suited to classic typography.
The design appears intended to provide a classical italic companion with strong typographic color and a distinctly traditional serif personality. Its modulated strokes and carefully shaped serifs aim for a refined reading texture that still feels expressive in emphasis and display-like lines.
The slant is consistent across the set and supported by long, clean hairlines and confident curves, giving paragraphs a polished, continuous cadence. Terminals and serifs are sharp without appearing harsh, maintaining clarity while emphasizing elegance.
