This is a high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed wedge-like serifs. Capitals are relatively upright in construction but consistently slanted, with sharp, tapered terminals and smooth, continuous curves that emphasize a calligraphic rhythm. Lowercase shows flowing joins and generous entry/exit strokes, with a single-storey italic ‘a’ and ‘g’, and rounded, teardrop-like counters that stay crisp at display sizes. Numerals follow the same italic stress and contrast, with elegant curves and narrow joins that reinforce a refined, classical texture in text.
It works well for editorial typography such as magazines, literary pages, and book interiors, especially for italics in running text and pull quotes. The strong contrast and crisp terminals also suit refined headlines and subheads where a classic serif italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking bookish elegance and editorial polish. Its italic energy reads expressive without becoming flamboyant, giving text a confident, formal voice suited to quotation, emphasis, and cultured branding.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable italic companion with a distinctly classic serif character, combining calligraphic movement with disciplined proportions for sustained text use and tasteful display emphasis.
Stroke endings are sharp and clean, with consistent diagonal stress across letters that produces a lively, slightly right-leaning cadence. Spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, while the contrast and tapered details become especially prominent in larger settings.
