This is a right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes and sharply finished, bracketed serifs. Letterforms show a calligraphic construction: tapered joins, angled stress in rounded shapes, and flowing entry/exit strokes that give the italic a continuous rhythm. Proportions feel generously set with broad capitals and open counters, while the lowercase maintains an even, readable body with clearly differentiated forms (notably the looped italic-style a and single-storey g). Numerals follow the same italic logic, with compact bowls and crisp terminals that keep them aligned with the text color.
Well suited to editorial and publishing contexts such as book interiors, magazines, essays, and quotations where a refined italic voice is needed. It can also support identity work for cultural institutions or premium brands, especially for headlines, pull quotes, and short blocks of text that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif presence.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with an old-style, bookish warmth tempered by crisp detailing. It reads as confident and formal rather than playful, lending a sense of tradition and cultivated elegance to longer passages and display lines alike.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic with strong typographic color and a distinctly crafted, calligraphic rhythm, balancing elegance with readability for editorial use.
Spacing appears comfortable and even, producing a steady texture in the sample paragraphs without looking rigid. The italic angle is assertive but controlled, and the high-contrast details remain clean enough to preserve clarity in continuous reading.
