This is a high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered stroke endings. Serifs are bracketed and delicately cut, with sharp terminals that give the letterforms a clean, engraved feel. The rhythm is lively and slightly calligraphic, combining firm vertical structure with flowing entry/exit strokes, especially in the lowercase. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, open counters, and clear differentiation between round and straight forms, while caps have a poised, classical silhouette.
Well-suited for book and magazine typography, especially for emphasis, pull quotes, introductions, and other italic-driven hierarchy. It can also serve elegantly in invitations and formal announcements, and in headlines where a classic, cultured voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, conveying an editorial, bookish sophistication. Its elegant slant and bright contrast add a sense of motion and ceremony, suited to refined communication rather than utilitarian signage.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that provides a refined, energetic counterpart to a roman style. It prioritizes classical proportions and calligraphic movement, aiming for legible sophistication in editorial and literary settings.
Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic and read as text figures intended to harmonize with running copy. Stroke modulation is consistent across capitals and lowercase, and the design maintains clarity in longer sample text while still feeling distinctly stylized.
