This is a high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Stems taper into sharp terminals, with teardrop and wedge-like endings that give strokes a cut-from-metal clarity. Curves are generous and slightly calligraphic, and the axis feels subtly diagonal, reinforcing an old-style rhythm. Capitals are stately and relatively compact, while lowercase forms show lively entry/exit strokes and noticeable variation in letter widths, creating a textured, flowing line in text.
Well suited to editorial and long-form settings where an italic voice is needed—introductions, pull quotes, captions, and emphasized passages in books and magazines. It also works effectively for refined headlines and titling when a classic, authoritative tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and established publishing. Its sharp italic energy feels expressive without becoming decorative, balancing refinement with a confident, rhetorical emphasis.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic that carries traditional bookish character while providing strong, elegant emphasis. Its controlled proportions and sharp finishing details prioritize clarity and polish in continuous text and editorial layouts.
In the sample text, the strong thick–thin modulation and pointed terminals produce a dark, elegant color at larger sizes, while the italic construction gives clear emphasis and momentum. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, reading as classic text figures in spirit even when set alone.
