A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes, compact hairlines, and clearly bracketed serifs. The forms show a calligraphic, diagonal-stress construction with lively entry and exit strokes and slightly variable character widths that create an animated rhythm in text. Capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase has a traditional oldstyle feel, including a two-storey “g” and distinctive, looped descenders (notably in “g” and “y”). Numerals are elegant and slanted, with pronounced thick–thin transitions and angled terminals that keep them consistent with the italic text tone.
This font suits long-form editorial settings such as books, essays, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or elegant display passages. It also works well for refined branding and formal materials like invitations, programs, and certificates where a traditional serif italic can add sophistication.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary—polished, serious, and slightly dramatic due to the crisp contrast and energetic slant. It conveys a sense of heritage and editorial authority while remaining lively rather than rigid.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that leans into classical calligraphic construction and strong contrast to deliver an expressive, authoritative companion for reading and formal composition.
In the sample text, spacing and stroke modulation create a smooth, continuous texture typical of italic reading faces, with pronounced rhythm in curved letters and a noticeable forward motion. The ampersand is ornate and calligraphic, reinforcing the classical, bookish personality.
