This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with diagonal stress, producing sharp joins and tapered entry/exit strokes. Terminals frequently finish in teardrop-like shapes, and many lowercase forms feel gently calligraphic, with soft curves and slightly cupped serifs. Proportions are moderately narrow with steady rhythm, and the numerals and capitals keep a dignified, traditional silhouette while remaining clearly italicized.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine features, book typography (especially for emphasis, citations, and running italics), and formal communications. It can also serve in refined branding and packaging where a classic italic voice is desired, and in display settings where its contrast and tapered terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is formal and literary, evoking classic book typography and polished editorial styling. Its energetic italic flow reads as elegant and authoritative rather than casual, adding a refined sense of motion to headlines or emphasis in text.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, high-contrast italic companion suited to continuous reading and typographic emphasis, balancing calligraphic character with disciplined, text-oriented proportions and consistent serif structure.
The italic is assertive in both capitals and lowercase, with strong contrast that rewards adequate size and spacing. Round letters maintain open internal shapes, while angular letters show sharp, controlled diagonals that reinforce a traditional, pen-influenced construction.
