This serif italic shows a steep rightward slant with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with many strokes resolving into pointed, calligraphic ends rather than blunt cuts. Capitals are relatively narrow and tall, with compact bowls and crisp cross-strokes, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and lively ascender/descender action. Curves are drawn with a slightly teardrop-like stress and the overall rhythm feels fast and continuous, reinforced by narrow sidebearings and the italic entry/exit strokes.
It suits editorial typography where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, headings, and pull quotes. The crisp contrast and narrow proportions also make it a strong choice for formal stationery and upscale branding where a traditional serif italic is appropriate.
The tone is polished and classical, evoking bookish sophistication and a sense of tradition. Its brisk italic movement adds a cultured, expressive flair, reading as formal without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with calligraphic energy: a refined companion style that adds emphasis and sophistication while keeping a disciplined, readable structure.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized construction, with slender horizontals and curved joins that keep the texture light. The design maintains a consistent sparkle at text sizes due to thin hairlines and tight internal spaces, giving lines a refined, slightly dramatic color.
