This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic slant and tapered strokes. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with wedge-like terminals and strong thick–thin modulation that gives letterforms a lively, engraved feel. Capitals are broad and sculptural, with crisp entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase shows flowing, cursive-like construction (notably in a, f, g, y) and a rhythmic, forward-leaning texture. Numerals are similarly slanted and contrasty, with elegant curves and narrow joins that read best at comfortable text sizes.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and classic print layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also performs nicely in refined headlines, standfirsts, pull quotes, and short-form display lines where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is traditional and refined, evoking editorial and literary typography. Its energetic italic movement adds a sense of sophistication and emphasis, while the sharp serifs and contrast contribute a formal, high-end impression.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic serif that adds elegance and expressive motion without departing from established text-serifs conventions. Its strong contrast and crisp serifs suggest a focus on traditional publishing aesthetics and polished typographic hierarchy.
The face favors clean, pointed details and narrow hairlines, producing a bright page color with noticeable sparkle. In dense settings the strong slant and contrast create a distinctive, animated texture that works especially well for emphasis rather than long uninterrupted passages.
