This is a high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are crisp and often wedge-like, with bracketing that creates a smooth transition into stems, and several letters show subtly beaked or hooked terminals. The italic construction is energetic and forward-leaning, with compact counters, a relatively tight rhythm, and lively curves in round forms. Numerals and capitals appear sturdy and sculpted, while the lowercase shows more calligraphic movement, especially in letters with descenders and diagonal joins.
Well suited for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed—magazine features, pull quotes, and section headers. It also fits book jackets, event materials, and branding applications that benefit from a classic, high-contrast italic with strong personality, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is classic and cultured, leaning toward literary and editorial settings rather than utilitarian UI work. Its strong contrast and assertive italic slant convey sophistication and emphasis, with a slightly dramatic, old-world flavor suitable for refined, traditional typography.
The design appears intended to provide a true italic serif with dramatic contrast and traditional proportions, offering a persuasive, elegant voice for emphasis and display-led editorial work. Its sharp serifs and calligraphic flow suggest an aim to balance refinement with a confident, attention-getting texture.
At display sizes the sharp terminals and strong modulation read as elegant and authoritative; in longer passages the dense texture can feel punchy and emphatic. The italic is not merely oblique—its forms are drawn with true italic character, giving it a distinctive, animated rhythm in continuous text.
