A slanted serif with a brisk, calligraphic construction and subtly sculpted terminals. Strokes show controlled contrast with tapered entry/exit strokes and small, sharp serifs that often flare slightly from the stems. The proportions run on the condensed side with lively, variable letter widths, giving the text a forward rhythm. Curves are clean and tensioned, and the italic forms maintain clear counters and consistent spacing for continuous reading.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or running text. It also fits pull quotes, introductions, and brand copy that benefits from a classic, cultivated tone.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with an energetic, handwritten inflection rather than a purely mechanical italic. It reads as refined and formal, suitable for work that wants elegance without becoming delicate or ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, text-oriented italic with a traditional serif foundation and a touch of calligraphic flair. Its condensed proportions and crisp, flared finishing aim to create an elegant, energetic texture in paragraphs and display lines alike.
The numerals and capitals carry the same angled, tapered logic as the lowercase, helping mixed settings stay cohesive. The design’s pointed joins and crisp terminals create strong word shapes and a distinctly editorial texture on the line.
