A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and strongly modulated strokes. The serifs are sharp and tapered, often wedge-like, with crisp joins and a calligraphic rhythm that suggests a broad-nib influence. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow with sweeping diagonals and pointed terminals, while lowercase forms are lively and compact, with rounded bowls and energetic entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic, modulated construction, keeping consistent stress and stroke contrast across the set.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, books, and essays where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or pull quotes. It can also work for formal printed materials like invitations and programs, especially at medium to larger sizes where its contrast and sharp details remain clear.
The font reads as traditional and polished, projecting a literary, editorial tone with a touch of sophistication. Its brisk italic movement adds a sense of motion and emphasis, making it feel expressive without becoming decorative.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif italic that balances classical proportions with a crisp, high-contrast drawing. The intent appears to be providing a refined, readable italic for continuous text and typographic emphasis, with enough character to stand out in display lines when set larger.
The overall color on the page is relatively light due to the thin hairlines, with dark emphasis coming from the thick stems and curves. Spacing appears comfortable in text, and the italic forms maintain clear silhouettes and a consistent slanted axis across caps, lowercase, and figures.
