A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered entry and exit strokes and clearly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant and a calligraphic, pen-driven modulation, with thin hairlines and fuller diagonal/vertical strokes. Counters are moderately open and proportions lean slightly narrow in the capitals, while lowercase forms keep a steady rhythm with an even, text-oriented x-height. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with curving forms and strong thick–thin transitions.
Well-suited for book typography and long-form editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, citations, or introductions. It can also serve effectively in refined display situations—such as pull quotes, headings, and formal stationery—where its contrast and slant add elegance without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with an editorial polish that feels at home in literary and academic contexts. Its crisp italics and refined contrast suggest sophistication rather than playfulness, conveying a poised, authoritative voice.
Likely designed as a conventional text italic that provides a clear hierarchy and a graceful companion voice in serif typography. The emphasis appears to be on legibility at text sizes while retaining classic calligraphic character and a polished, high-contrast finish.
Capitals read cleanly and restrained, while lowercase shapes show more motion and flourish typical of text italics (notably in curved letters and descending forms). Spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, and the italics maintain consistent stroke stress across the alphabet and figures.
