This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic flow and crisp hairlines against fuller main strokes. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with tapered terminals and a consistent rightward slant that gives the design momentum. Proportions feel classical with moderate x-height, generous ascenders/descenders, and round forms that stay open in text. The rhythm is lively rather than rigid, with subtle width variation and carefully curved joins that keep counters clean and legible.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or introductions, and for book and magazine settings that benefit from a classic, high-contrast texture. It also fits formal invitations and refined branding applications where an elegant, traditional impression is desired.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting tradition and craft. Its polished italic color and dramatic contrast read as elegant and formal, with a slightly romantic, editorial feel rather than a purely utilitarian one.
The design appears intended as a classic text serif italic with heightened contrast and a calligraphic construction, providing an expressive companion for reading-focused typography and formal communication.
Capitals show a graceful, display-leaning italic construction with sweeping curves (notably in round letters like C, O, and Q) and sharp entry/exit strokes. Lowercase forms emphasize cursive structure with single-storey a and g and a distinctive, flowing z; numerals also carry the same italic energy with crisp, tapered finishing strokes.
