A slanted serif with a pronounced calligraphic construction and clear thick–thin modulation. Serifs are finely bracketed and taper into sharp terminals, while curves show a controlled, ink-trap-free smoothness that keeps counters open and clean. Proportions feel traditional with moderate ascenders and descenders; the lowercase has a steady, readable rhythm, and the capitals are slightly more formal and narrow in stance. Numerals follow the same angled stress and contrast, with elegant curves and crisp joins that stay consistent across the set.
Works well for editorial typography such as book interiors, magazines, essays, and long-form quotations where a refined italic voice is needed. It also fits formal materials—programs, invitations, and premium packaging or branding—especially when used for emphasis, pull quotes, or elegant headlines.
The overall tone is cultivated and literary, projecting a sense of tradition and polish. Its lively italic movement adds sophistication and a gentle sense of motion, making it feel suited to classic publishing and tasteful brand expression rather than utilitarian UI.
Likely designed to provide a classic, high-contrast italic companion for conventional serif typography, balancing expressive calligraphic detail with reliable readability. The intent appears to be an italic that can carry both emphasis in text and confident display use without sacrificing typographic restraint.
The italic angle is assertive enough to read as a true italic rather than an oblique, with noticeable stroke entry/exit shaping and a handwritten impulse in letters like a, f, and g. Spacing appears comfortably open in running text, helping the high-contrast strokes avoid looking fragile at display sizes.
