This italic serif shows a calligraphic, right-leaning construction with pronounced thick–thin contrast and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. Strokes end in sharp wedges and subtle hooks, with lively entry/exit terminals that keep the rhythm fluid rather than rigid. The capitals are stately and slightly wide-shouldered, while the lowercase is compact and cursive in feel, with an energetic two-storey “g” and delicate joins. Numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast logic, giving the set a cohesive, text-oriented texture.
It suits editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or subheads, and it can work well in book interiors for emphasis styles. The refined contrast and crisp serifs also make it a good option for formal stationery and invitation copy where a classic, literary tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with an editorial elegance that suggests books, essays, and formal communication. Its italic motion feels expressive and articulate rather than decorative, adding emphasis with poise.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic with a distinctly calligraphic edge—built to read smoothly in paragraphs while still delivering a polished, traditional character for emphasis and display moments.
The letterforms maintain consistent slant and contrast across cases, producing a smooth diagonal flow in words and strong silhouette clarity in capitals. Fine hairlines and sharp terminals contribute to a crisp look that benefits from comfortable sizes where details can breathe.
