This is a high-contrast italic serif with bracketed, finely tapered serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show clear calligraphic influence, with diagonal stress in rounded forms and crisp, thin hairlines that sharpen into pointed terminals. Capitals are slightly narrow with strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase carries a lively, flowing rhythm and compact, neatly shaped counters. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with elegant curves and tapered joins that keep the texture light and animated in text.
It’s well suited for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, leads, and pull quotes, as well as book interiors and magazine layouts. The crisp contrast and lively slant also make it effective for elegant branding lines, invitations, and short display settings where a classic tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography with a refined, slightly dramatic italic presence. It feels formal without being stiff, thanks to the energetic cursive movement and sharp, polished detailing.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, text-oriented italic with pronounced contrast and a calligraphic edge, balancing readability with a distinctly refined, historical flavor for editorial use.
The italic construction reads as continuous and consistent across letters and figures, with careful modulation between thick and thin that creates sparkle at larger sizes while remaining cohesive in paragraph samples. Several glyphs show distinctive, slightly calligraphic finishing strokes that add personality without tipping into script.
