A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal stress and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes transition from hairline joins to heavier stems, with tapered entry/exit terminals that feel calligraphic rather than geometric. The capitals are stately and slightly narrow, with clean wedge-like finishing, while the lowercase shows lively modulation and varied rhythm—most visible in the curving bowls and the angled joins. Numerals follow the same sharp, refined treatment, maintaining contrast and slant for a cohesive text-and-display voice.
Well-suited to editorial typography—book interiors, essays, and magazine layouts—where its contrast and italic liveliness can add sophistication without losing clarity. It also performs nicely for pull quotes, introductions, and headlines that benefit from a classic, refined slanted serif.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an old-style elegance that reads as cultivated and editorial. Its energetic italic slant adds a sense of motion and emphasis while still feeling formal and composed.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic flavor: to provide elegant emphasis in running copy while also scaling up attractively for editorial display use.
Spacing appears moderately open for an italic, helping keep the sharp serifs and hairlines from clumping in text. The italic construction is assertive rather than merely obliqued, with clearly drawn cursive forms and expressive terminals that add texture to long lines.
