This is an italic serif with crisp, sharply bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show a calligraphic rhythm with diagonal stress, tapered terminals, and a consistent forward slant. Capitals are elegant and slightly narrow in feeling, with pointed joins and clean, knife-like finishing. Lowercase has lively entry/exit strokes, a compact, readable x-height, and italic cursive construction (notably in letters like a, f, g, and y), while figures follow the same high-contrast, slanted logic with open counters and fine hairlines.
Well-suited for book and editorial italics—introductions, quotations, captions, and emphasized passages—where a classic, high-contrast texture is desired. It can also work for elegant subheads or pull quotes that need a refined, traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting tradition and cultivated taste rather than overt display. Its energetic italic flow gives text a sense of motion and emphasis while still feeling composed and authoritative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text companion italic: to provide clear emphasis with a distinctly calligraphic serif character, balancing grace and readability in continuous setting.
Spacing appears even and text color stays relatively light due to fine hairlines, so the design reads best where printing/rendering can preserve thin strokes. The italic structure is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a unified voice for emphasis within longer passages.
