This is a serif italic with a lively, calligraphic construction and clear stroke modulation. Stems and major strokes subtly flare into the serifs, and the terminals often finish in tapered, angled cuts that keep the rhythm crisp. The capitals are relatively narrow and slanted with sweeping joins and confident diagonals, while the lowercase shows compact proportions, a moderate x-height, and pronounced entry/exit strokes that create forward motion. Counters are open and rounded, and the numerals follow the same italic stress with oldstyle-like curves and varied widths that give lines a natural, texty texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form quotations where an italic voice is needed without losing seriousness. It can also serve effectively in refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal invitations where a traditional, literary feel is desired.
The overall tone feels cultured and traditional, with an editorial sophistication that reads as literary and established rather than trendy. Its energetic slant and sharp terminals add a sense of momentum and formality, suggesting classic publishing and refined branding.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic companion with a subtly flared serif vocabulary—combining traditional text readability with a more calligraphic, energetic cadence for emphasis and editorial voice.
At larger sizes the pointed terminals and flared serif behavior become more expressive, while at text sizes the consistent slant and moderate contrast maintain a smooth reading flow. The mix of compact letterforms and varied character widths produces a slightly dynamic, hand-informed texture in paragraphs.
