A serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a calligraphic, diagonal stress. The letterforms are generously proportioned with open counters and a relatively broad set, giving words an airy, readable rhythm. Serifs are sharp and mostly bracketed, with crisp entry strokes and tapered terminals that emphasize movement; joins and curves show a smooth, penned quality rather than geometric construction. Numerals align with the text color and contrast, featuring compact shapes and clear terminals that remain legible at display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, quotes, and titles. It also works effectively for refined branding, cultural institutions, and packaging that benefits from a classic serif voice, particularly at medium to large sizes where the contrast and detailing can shine.
The overall tone feels traditional and cultivated, with an editorial, bookish voice. Its slanted forms and high contrast add elegance and momentum, reading as refined and slightly dramatic without becoming ornamental.
This design appears intended to deliver a conventional, text-oriented serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic flavor—balancing readability with a polished, authoritative look. The wide set and open shaping suggest a focus on comfortable word rhythm and graceful emphasis in running text.
The italic angle is assertive, and the capitals project a stately, inscriptional presence with strong horizontal serifs and clean diagonals. Lowercase forms maintain a consistent texture, with lively ascenders/descenders and clear differentiation between similar shapes, supporting comfortable continuous reading when spaced appropriately.
