This italic serif shows a pronounced rightward slant with high contrast between thick stems and hairline joins. Serifs are finely tapered and largely bracketed, with sharp, triangular terminals and a lively, calligraphic stroke modulation that keeps curves crisp. Counters are moderately open, the x-height reads as middle-of-the-road, and spacing feels slightly varied in an intentional, text-focused way, producing an active rhythm. Numerals appear oldstyle, with ascenders and descenders that align naturally with the italic texture.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial italics, including emphasis, chapter epigraphs, and quoted material. It also performs strongly for magazine headings, pull quotes, and elegant branding where a classic italic voice is needed.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with an editorial polish that suggests literature, scholarship, and classic publishing. Its energetic italic movement feels expressive without becoming decorative, conveying refinement and authority.
The font appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented italic with strong contrast and carefully tapered details, designed to provide a refined companion voice for reading and editorial typography. Its letterforms prioritize a fluent, calligraphic rhythm while staying controlled and legible.
The design leans on sharp entry/exit strokes and tapered joins to maintain clarity at display sizes while preserving a dense, bookish color. Uppercase forms stay dignified and upright in structure despite the slant, helping headings retain formality.
