This is a high-contrast italic serif with sharp, bracketed wedge serifs and a distinctly calligraphic modulation. Strokes transition from very thin hairlines to pronounced stressed curves, with tapered terminals and occasional teardrop-like finishing. The slant is pronounced and consistent, giving the forms forward momentum, while proportions remain balanced with a moderate x-height and generous counters. Uppercase shapes feel stately and slightly wide in the round letters, and the overall rhythm is smooth but lively due to the crisp joins and finely cut serifs.
It suits editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, pull quotes, and refined marketing copy where an italic voice is desirable. It can also work well for formal invitations or brand statements that benefit from a traditional, polished serif presence.
The face conveys a classic, cultivated tone—elegant and bookish rather than trendy. Its italic energy reads as expressive and rhetorical, suitable for emphasis without becoming decorative or playful.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif italic with elevated contrast and a calligraphic edge—an italic that functions as a true companion style while also standing confidently in larger, more expressive settings.
The numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with flowing curves and fine hairlines that may require sufficient size or print quality to avoid losing detail. Spacing appears even in text, but the strong contrast and sharp serifs make it feel more at home in display and editorial settings than in very small, dense UI contexts.
