This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a calligraphic, pen-driven rhythm. Strokes transition sharply from thick stems to fine hairlines, with smoothly bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that stay crisp rather than rounded. Capitals feel formal and slightly condensed, while the lowercase shows lively joins, angled entry strokes, and a gentle baseline flow; the forms remain open and readable despite the contrast. Numerals follow the same italic stress and contrast, with clear, traditional proportions that align comfortably with the text style.
Well suited to editorial typography, literature-oriented branding, and book or magazine settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, introductions, or captions. It can also serve in headings and pull quotes to add a polished, classical tone without feeling ornamental.
The overall tone is classic and cultured, conveying a refined, bookish elegance. Its energetic italic movement adds a sense of forward motion and sophistication, suitable for expressive yet traditional typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented italic with a distinctly calligraphic flavor—balancing traditional serif structure with lively, expressive stroke modulation for elegant reading and emphasis.
Letterforms show consistent diagonal stress and a cohesive serif treatment across cases, giving a stable texture in continuous text while retaining the expressive flicks typical of italic construction. The contrast and fine details suggest it will look best when reproduction is clean and sizes aren’t extremely small.
