This is a high-contrast italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a clearly calligraphic construction. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp, tapered terminals and a consistent rightward slant. Counters are relatively open for an italic, and the rhythm is lively, with narrow joins and slightly variable letter widths that create a flowing, text-like texture. Lowercase forms are compact with a moderate ascender/descender presence, and the figures appear in an oldstyle style that follows the italic angle.
It works well for editorial and book contexts where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, introductions, or refined display lines. The lively slant and strong contrast also make it effective for literary titling, pull quotes, and formal printed materials such as invitations and programs.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting refinement and tradition rather than a modern, minimalist feel. Its energetic italic movement and sharp detailing give it a confident, editorial voice suited to formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast italic companion for serious reading and polished publishing, balancing clarity with a distinctly calligraphic, traditional character. It prioritizes an expressive italic flow while maintaining the structured proportions of a classic text serif.
The capitals are moderately wide with strong entry/exit strokes, and several letters show distinctive italic swashes at terminals (notably in J, Q, and y). The italic f has a pronounced descender and the g is single-storey, reinforcing a traditional, bookish texture. At larger sizes the contrast and sharp serifs read as especially crisp and stylish.
