This serif italic has sharp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation, giving it a crisp, high-contrast profile. The slant is consistent and fairly assertive, with tapered entry strokes and subtly calligraphic terminals that keep counters open and forms legible. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are stately with fine hairlines, while lowercase shows a moderate x-height and clear rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic stress, with elegant curves and delicate joins that read cleanly at text sizes.
Well-suited to long-form editorial typography such as magazines and book interiors, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It also works effectively for refined titles, subtitles, and pull quotes where a traditional serif italic can add hierarchy and sophistication without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a refined, editorial elegance. Its strong italic movement adds energy and emphasis without tipping into display flamboyance, suggesting formality and cultivated taste. The contrast and sharp finishing details convey a sense of tradition and polish.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances classical proportions with a lively, calligraphic stroke logic. Its aim seems to be providing an elegant, trustworthy italic for sustained reading and editorial hierarchy, with high-contrast detailing that stays controlled and consistent across letters and figures.
Curves and diagonals carry a noticeable italic stress, and many strokes end in pointed or gently hooked terminals that enhance the handwritten impression. Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for continuous reading, with a smooth line texture in the sample text and clear word shapes in mixed-case settings.
