A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that read cleanly at display sizes. The letterforms are moderately wide with a steady rhythm, combining sharp terminals with subtly rounded joins for a polished, traditional texture. Capitals feel sturdy and structured, while the lowercase shows more movement—especially in the curved strokes and entry/exit terminals—creating an energetic, old-style italic color without becoming script-like.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, pull quotes, and book titling where a refined italic voice is needed. It also fits formal applications like invitations, certificates, and classic brand marks, and can add emphasis or a traditional accent in packaging and identity systems.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking traditional publishing and formal stationery. Its lively italic flow adds a hint of flourish, making it feel expressive and literary rather than strictly utilitarian.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, high-contrast italic serif with strong legibility and a polished, print-oriented presence. It aims to balance classic bookish conventions with enough stroke energy and terminal flair to stand out in headings and emphasized text.
Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and forward lean, helping them blend smoothly into running text. The shapes maintain consistent stress and a clear serif logic across uppercase and lowercase, keeping the style cohesive in mixed-case settings.
