This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear calligraphic modulation with diagonal stress, giving bowls and curves a lively, drawn quality. Capitals are elegant and slightly narrow, with tapered joins and fine hairlines, while the lowercase is fluid with compact counters and gently sweeping entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, featuring strong thick–thin transitions and sharp finishing terminals.
It works well for editorial typography such as book and magazine italics, pull quotes, and emphasized passages where a refined, classical voice is desired. The contrast and distinctive serif detail also suit display use for headlines, subheads, and titling when set with generous size and spacing.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking bookish refinement and editorial authority. Its energetic italic movement adds a sense of sophistication and ceremony, making the overall impression poised and expressive rather than neutral.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented italic that brings classical serif structure together with calligraphic stroke behavior. It prioritizes an elegant reading rhythm and clear emphasis, aiming to complement a serif text family while also standing confidently in display settings.
At larger sizes the delicate hairlines and sharp terminals read especially clean and stylish, while the slanted rhythm and contrast can make dense settings feel more dramatic. The italic forms maintain consistent spacing and a steady baseline, supporting smooth word shapes in continuous text.
