This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and a pronounced diagonal stress. Strokes move from fine hairlines to sturdy main stems, producing a lively, calligraphic rhythm and clear entry/exit strokes on many forms. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with moderate counters and a slightly forward, energetic slant; curves are smooth and controlled, and terminals are sharp without becoming brittle.
It is well-suited to editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis—pull quotes, intros, captions, and refined headlines. In longer passages it can work effectively for short runs of emphasized text, especially in print or high-resolution contexts where the hairlines and contrast can hold up.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting elegance and cultivated formality. Its flowing italic construction adds a sense of motion and emphasis, giving text a persuasive, editorial voice rather than a neutral one.
The design intent appears to be a conventional text-serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic slant, balancing tradition with crispness. It aims to provide a confident, readable italic that feels at home in classic publishing and formal communications.
Uppercase forms show strong italic shaping (notably in C, G, J, Q), while the lowercase maintains consistent slant and contrast across the alphabet. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with clear differentiation and a traditional, print-oriented feel.
