This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sharp, finely tapered stroke endings. Serifs are delicate and mostly bracketed, with teardrop/ball terminals appearing on several lowercase forms and a generally calligraphic modulation through curves. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow with crisp entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase shows a lively rhythm with clear ascenders and descenders and a moderately sized x-height. Numerals follow the same italic stress and contrast, with open, flowing shapes and pointed terminals that read cleanly at display and text sizes.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or chapter-level hierarchy. It also performs strongly in refined applications such as magazine features, cultural programs, and formal stationery where a classic italic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with an editorial, literary flavor. Its crisp contrast and italic energy suggest sophistication and formality rather than neutrality, lending a poised, slightly dramatic voice to longer passages and prominent headings alike.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic with elevated contrast and carefully finished terminals, providing a refined companion style for text typography while remaining distinctive enough for elegant display roles.
The spacing and internal counters feel relatively open for an italic, helping maintain clarity in continuous text. The design leans on classic serif conventions while adding expressive terminals and curvature that keep the texture animated.
