A sharply slanted serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline terminals. The serifs are bracketed and tapering, with wedge-like feet and pointed joins that give the outlines a cut, engraved feel. Capitals are comparatively stately and compact, while the lowercase shows lively, calligraphic shaping with a single-storey “a” and flowing, angled entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with narrow forms, fine hairlines, and elegant curves that read as display-oriented rather than utilitarian.
This style fits best in editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, as well as in book or magazine titles, pull quotes, and refined marketing copy. It can also suit premium branding and invitations where elegance and tradition are priorities, particularly at medium to larger sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and refined, evoking bookish sophistication and old-world editorial polish. Its strong contrast and energetic italic angle add a sense of drama and motion, making text feel more ceremonial and expressive than neutral.
The design appears intended as a classic high-contrast italic for expressive typography—bringing a formal, literary character with calligraphic energy while maintaining familiar serif text conventions.
Stroke weight shifts are steep, so counters and joins can feel delicate at small sizes, especially where hairlines meet at tight angles. The rhythm is slightly variable from glyph to glyph, which reinforces a humanist, calligraphy-informed texture rather than a strictly mechanical one.
