This typeface is a high‑contrast serif italic with sharply tapered stroke endings and finely bracketed serifs. The forms show strong calligraphic modulation, with thin hairlines and firm, dark stems that create a lively, sparkling texture in text. Capitals are slightly wide and stately with pronounced entry/exit strokes, while lowercase letters are more compact and rhythmic, featuring angled terminals and a consistently forward slant. Figures follow the same italic stress, with varying widths and open counters that keep numerals clear despite the contrast.
It suits editorial design, book work, and magazine typography where an italic with real calligraphic character is needed for emphasis. It will perform especially well in headlines, subheads, and pull quotes, and can also support longer passages when set with comfortable size and leading to accommodate the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, evoking book typography and editorial refinement. Its energetic slant and crisp hairlines add a sense of sophistication and motion, making the voice feel elegant rather than decorative or playful.
The design intention appears to be a classic, text-oriented italic that balances elegance with readability, delivering a traditional serif voice with a lively, pen-informed stroke rhythm for editorial emphasis.
The italic construction appears firmly integrated rather than a simple oblique: many letters have reshaped anatomy, with distinct swash-like strokes on capitals and a flowing, pen-driven join logic in the lowercase. Spacing reads moderately open in the samples, helping the high contrast remain legible at display sizes while still forming a cohesive text rhythm.
