This is a high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are bracketed and pointed, with a distinctly calligraphic entry/exit feel that gives letters a lively, slightly angular rhythm. Uppercase forms are narrow and upright in structure but strongly slanted overall, while lowercase shows flowing joins, long ascenders, and compact bowls that keep word shapes tight. Numerals match the text style with elegant curves and italic stress, maintaining consistent contrast and a polished, print-oriented texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form text where a sophisticated italic is needed for emphasis. It also performs well in display contexts—headlines, subheads, and pull quotes—where the high contrast and crisp serifs can provide a premium, traditional finish.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking traditional book typography and refined editorial design. Its italic energy reads expressive and assertive without becoming decorative, lending a confident, literary voice to headlines and emphasized passages.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with elevated contrast and a calligraphic edge, balancing classical proportions with a lively, slanted rhythm for both emphasis within text and refined display use.
The combination of sharp terminals, compact counters, and strong slope produces a dynamic line that looks especially cohesive in longer italic settings. The capitals feel formal and authoritative, while the lowercase adds movement through curved shoulders and tapered finishes.
