A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show bracketed serifs and a slightly calligraphic construction, with energetic entry/exit strokes and gently cupped terminals. Capitals are broad and steady, while the lowercase has a flowing, right-leaning rhythm and clear, open counters; ascenders and descenders feel moderately long, supporting a graceful line. Numerals appear oldstyle and italic, with varying heights that reinforce a traditional text color.
Well-suited to long-form editorial and book typography where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, and secondary hierarchy. It also performs strongly for magazine features, literary titles, and pull quotes where high contrast and a calligraphic italic gesture add sophistication.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, suggesting editorial polish and a traditional, bookish sophistication. Its lively italic movement reads expressive rather than neutral, lending emphasis with a refined, formal character.
Likely designed as a traditional text-serif italic that balances readability with expressive, classical movement. The intent appears to be a polished companion style for setting nuanced emphasis and elegant typographic hierarchy in editorial contexts.
Stroke endings are crisp and pointed in places, giving the face a slightly sharp sparkle at display sizes. The italics maintain consistent slant and spacing, producing a smooth, continuous texture across words without looking overly compressed.
