This is a high-contrast italic serif with pronounced diagonal stress and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, with teardrop/ball terminals appearing in several lowercase forms, giving strokes a fluid, pen-like finish. Uppercase letters are slightly inclined with crisp, sharp serifs and elegant curves, while the lowercase shows more movement, including single-storey forms and long, sweeping entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic construction, mixing open counters and strong thick–thin transitions for a lively, traditional texture in setting.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and literary or cultural branding where an italic voice is needed. It can also work effectively for invitations, pull quotes, captions, and refined packaging or labels that benefit from a classic serif italic texture.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, with an editorial polish that reads as bookish and established. Its slanted, high-contrast construction adds a sense of motion and elegance, suggesting formality without feeling rigid.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, readable italic with strong typographic character—balancing crisp serif structure with calligraphic motion. It aims to deliver a familiar, oldstyle-leaning texture that feels at home in established print contexts while remaining expressive in emphasis and short display lines.
The design maintains consistent contrast and slant across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a coherent page color. Some letters show generous curves and extended terminals that can add personality at display sizes while still supporting continuous reading in short-to-medium text runs.
