This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a lively, calligraphic stroke modulation. Serifs are finely tapered and generally bracketed, with sharp terminals and teardrop-like endings in places, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved feel. Letterforms show moderate proportions with a conventional x-height, compact internal spaces, and a slightly varying set width across characters, producing a natural, text-like rhythm. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and distinct, somewhat narrow silhouettes.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial italics, including emphasis, quotations, captions, and pull quotes. It can also perform effectively in refined headlines, invitations, and brand or packaging contexts where a traditional, high-contrast italic serif is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a refined formality that reads as traditional and editorial. Its energetic italic motion adds a sense of elegance and emphasis rather than exuberance, suggesting a cultivated, print-oriented voice.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable italic companion with a classic, print-like texture—combining traditional serif structure with expressive calligraphic contrast for elegant emphasis in text and display settings.
Uppercase forms appear sturdy and well-balanced for an italic, while lowercase features more movement and modulation, creating a clear hierarchy between caps and text. The contrast and fine serifs encourage use at comfortable text sizes or in high-quality reproduction where the delicate details can remain intact.
