A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs and a strongly calligraphic stroke modulation. The italic angle is consistent and fairly assertive, giving letters a forward, dynamic posture while maintaining crisp, controlled outlines. Capitals show classical proportions with narrow joins and pointed terminals, while lowercase forms use compact bowls, angled stress, and flowing entry/exit strokes that keep word shapes energetic. Numerals follow the same contrast and slanted construction, with elegant curves and fine hairlines that reinforce a refined text color.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis. It can also serve effectively for pull quotes, introductions, and refined branding lines where a classic, expressive serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is sophisticated and literary, with a sense of traditional craftsmanship. Its lively slant and sharp terminals add drama and momentum, making it feel expressive without becoming ornamental. The look reads as polished and established, suited to environments that want a cultured, editorial voice.
Likely designed to provide a traditional, high-contrast italic for conventional text settings, balancing readability with a distinctly calligraphic character. The sharp serifs and consistent slant suggest an intention to deliver strong typographic emphasis and a polished, classic tone in continuous text.
In running text the rhythm is animated, with noticeable thick–thin transitions and pointed detailing that rewards comfortable sizes and good printing/display conditions. The italic construction feels integral rather than a simple oblique, emphasizing the pen-like movement in bowls, joins, and finishing strokes.
