A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sharp, tapered terminals. The letterforms show bracketed serifs and a calligraphic stress, with thin hairlines paired against sturdier verticals for a lively light–dark rhythm. Curves are clean and slightly elongated, while joins and entry/exit strokes feel crisp and directional, giving the forms an elegant, quick movement. Numerals echo the same contrast and italic flow, with open, readable shapes and fine finishing details.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography, especially for italic use such as emphasis, quotations, captions, and scholarly or literary styling. It also works effectively for refined display applications—magazine features, cultural branding, and invitations—where its sharp contrast and elegant slant can carry a sophisticated voice.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with an editorial polish that reads as literary and formal. Its energetic italic motion adds sophistication and emphasis without becoming decorative, making it feel appropriate for established, trustworthy communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic serif with a classical model: high contrast, bracketed serifs, and a calligraphic rhythm aimed at delivering elegance and authority in text-driven settings.
Uppercase forms maintain a dignified, classical presence, while the lowercase shows a more fluid italic cadence that increases texture in running text. The high contrast and fine hairlines suggest best performance at comfortable text and display sizes where the delicate details can remain clear.
