This is a high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs that read as crisp rather than heavy. The slant is consistent and moderately pronounced, with a lively rightward flow and clear thick–thin modulation through curves and joins. Proportions feel compact in the lowercase, with a relatively short x-height and prominent ascenders/descenders; counters are open but not oversized, and the overall color stays elegant and slightly sparkling. Numerals and capitals carry the same calligraphic stress, with smooth curves and a controlled, slightly variable rhythm in letter widths that helps the texture avoid monotony.
It suits book and long-form italics, editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a classic voice is desired. The pronounced italic character also works well for pull quotes, refined headlines, and display lines that need emphasis without abandoning traditional serif conventions.
The tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial sophistication. Its energetic italic movement adds a hint of drama and expressiveness while remaining disciplined and formal.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, high-contrast italic companion with strong calligraphic cues—useful for emphasis and elegant typography in text-forward settings—while maintaining a coherent, classical serif structure.
Details like the pointed, sweeping italic entry/exit strokes and the taut curve handling in letters such as the S, Q, and g contribute to a distinctly calligraphic flavor. At text sizes, the contrast and narrow joins create a refined texture that benefits from adequate spacing and clean reproduction.
