This is a high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered entry and exit strokes and distinctly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant and a calligraphic rhythm, with diagonal stress in round shapes and thin, hairline-like joins counterbalancing sturdy verticals. Curves are smooth and slightly compressed, while terminals often finish in pointed or teardrop forms that keep the texture lively. Numerals follow the same italic energy, with a prominent angled top on the 2 and a more flowing, calligraphic feel in figures like 3 and 9.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors (for emphasis, quotes, and headings), and other contexts where an italic serif adds hierarchy and sophistication. It can also serve effectively in upscale invitations, cultural materials, and premium packaging where a refined, classical tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, evoking bookish, editorial refinement rather than a casual or contemporary voice. Its energetic italics read as expressive and authoritative, suited to dignified emphasis and elegant display without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented italic that delivers clear hierarchy and elegant emphasis through strong contrast and calligraphic movement. It prioritizes a classic reading texture and a composed, literary character that feels at home in traditional publishing.
In text, the strong thick–thin modulation creates a bright, sparkling page color, especially at larger sizes. The italic forms maintain consistent slant and stroke logic across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, classical cadence.
