This is a high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and fuller, tapered main strokes. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant and a calligraphic rhythm, with diagonal stress in rounded characters and crisp, pointed terminals in places. Serifs are finely bracketed and delicate, and many joins resolve into thin hairlines, producing a lively, elegant texture in text. Proportions feel traditional, with moderately narrow capitals and flowing lowercase shapes that prioritize stroke movement over geometric symmetry.
It suits editorial typography, magazine or book styling, and other contexts where an expressive italic is desirable. The strong contrast and slant make it especially effective for headlines, deck lines, pull quotes, and short passages where elegance and emphasis are priorities.
The overall tone is polished and classical, with a distinctly literary, editorial feel. Its sharp contrast and energetic italics convey sophistication and a sense of tradition, leaning more toward elegance than neutrality.
The design appears intended as a conventional, old-style-leaning italic that provides emphasis with a refined, calligraphic voice. Its delicate serifs and pronounced contrast aim to deliver a classic, upscale texture for display and editorial settings rather than rugged, purely functional text work.
In the sample text, the face creates strong light–dark patterning and clear word shapes, especially in uppercase/lowercase mixes. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, reading as refined rather than utilitarian, and the slanted construction gives headings an immediate sense of motion.
