This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and clear calligraphic modulation. Strokes show sharp thick–thin transitions and diagonal stress, with compact, bracketed wedge-like serifs that feel cut and tapered rather than blocky. Uppercase forms are slightly narrow and poised, while lowercase has a lively rhythm with flowing joins and tapered terminals; ascenders are prominent and counters stay relatively open despite the contrast. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with smooth curves and angled entry/exit strokes that keep the set cohesive in text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, or headings. It can also serve elegantly in invitations, certificates, and other formal materials that benefit from a refined, traditional serif italic.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with an editorial elegance that suggests tradition and care. Its energetic slant and crisp contrast add momentum, giving it a persuasive, literary voice that feels formal without becoming rigid.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic companion with strong typographic color and a distinctly calligraphic stroke feel. Its contrast, tapered serifs, and steady rhythm suggest a focus on polished reading texture and expressive emphasis in sophisticated text settings.
In the text sample, the italic angles and tight, tapered serifs create a continuous, forward-moving texture. At larger sizes the sharp terminals and contrast read as stylish and expressive; at smaller sizes the delicate hairlines may require thoughtful sizing and spacing to maintain clarity.
