This is a high-contrast italic serif with crisp bracketed serifs and pronounced calligraphic modulation. Strokes show a clear angled stress, with slender hairlines and firmer verticals, and many terminals finish in sharp wedge-like points rather than blunt cuts. The forms lean decisively with a lively, somewhat variable rhythm across letters, and the italics feel drawn rather than mechanically slanted. Numerals follow the same sharp, high-contrast language, reading well at display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography, magazine features, and book design where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis. It works especially well for headlines, pull quotes, standfirsts, and other display applications, and can also serve as a refined companion italic in longer-form layouts when set at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, with a touch of drama from the steep italic angle and sharp, cutting terminals. It evokes editorial and bookish settings, feeling elegant and authoritative rather than casual. The strong contrast adds a sense of sophistication and ceremony.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, readable italic with strong contrast and a distinctly drawn, calligraphic character. Its sharp terminals and lively modulation aim to provide elegant emphasis and a premium, literary voice in typographic hierarchy.
The lowercase shows energetic entry and exit strokes and a distinctly calligraphic flow, while the capitals remain structured and stately with clear serif articulation. The punctuation and spacing in the sample text suggest it is happiest where the italic can breathe and show its stroke contrast.
