This italic serif shows crisp, high-contrast strokes with pronounced diagonal stress and tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and finely cut, with sharp, slightly flared entry and exit strokes that keep counters open despite the steep slant. Proportions feel bookish and traditional: capitals are broad and steady, while lowercase forms are lively with distinct calligraphic joins and varied stroke endings. Spacing appears moderately tight but even, and the rhythm is driven by strong thick–thin transitions and clear letter differentiation.
Well-suited for editorial layouts and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary hierarchy. It can also serve refined branding, packaging, and invitations when a classic, polished italic serif is desired at display sizes.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a formal, editorial voice that suggests tradition and refinement. Its energetic italic flow adds elegance and emphasis without feeling ornamental, giving it a confident, cultivated presence in text.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic serif with a strong calligraphic underpinning, balancing elegance and clarity. It aims to provide a distinctive italic texture for text and headings while maintaining a traditional, dependable typographic character.
Figures appear oldstyle with ascenders and descenders, reinforcing a text-oriented, traditional feel. The italic forms have a noticeably dynamic slant, and several letters show distinctive, slightly sweeping terminals that contribute to a fluent reading texture.
