This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a crisp, calligraphic stroke rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with tapered entry/exit strokes that give letters a lightly pen-driven feel despite the clean, printed finish. Uppercase forms are relatively narrow and elegant, while lowercase shows more movement—especially in the long, slightly curved ascenders and the flowing joins implied by the italic construction. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with varying widths and distinctive, curling terminals that add character in running text.
Well suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis. It also works nicely for pull quotes, subheads, and formal collateral like invitations or programs, especially where a classic, polished voice is desired.
The overall tone feels refined and literary, with a traditional, bookish elegance that reads as formal without becoming stiff. Its energetic italic flow adds warmth and emphasis, suggesting classic publishing and editorial contexts rather than utilitarian UI typography.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic companion with strong contrast and a cultured, print-oriented texture. Its goal is to deliver readable emphasis with a distinctly classical feel, balancing crisp serif detailing with a lively, calligraphic slant.
The italic structure is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive texture. Curved letters show strong modulation (notably in bowls and diagonals), and terminals often finish with a slight hook or taper that enhances the dynamic, handwritten impression while remaining clearly a text serif.
