A slanted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic construction: diagonals and curves swell into heavy strokes and taper into fine hairlines, while terminals often finish with sharp, angled cuts. Proportions feel generously set with open counters and a slightly expansive footprint, keeping the texture airy despite the strong contrast. The italic rhythm is consistent across capitals and lowercase, with a smooth forward motion and carefully shaped joins that read cleanly in text.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for formal communication—invitation suites, announcements, and premium branding—especially at medium to larger sizes where the fine hairlines and tapered details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, with a distinctly literary, editorial flavor. Its energetic slant and high-contrast modeling lend a sense of drama and sophistication, making the page feel cultured and intentional rather than utilitarian.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with a more expressive, calligraphy-informed finish. The goal appears to be balancing classic text manners with a lively, dramatic rhythm for emphasis and refined display moments.
Capitals have a stately presence and pair with a more cursive, lively lowercase, creating a classic book-italic hierarchy. Numerals match the same modulated, angled detailing, supporting cohesive typographic color in mixed text.
