This is a high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, finely tapered terminals. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with sharp joins and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than slab-like. The lowercase is fluid and slightly calligraphic in rhythm, with compact counters and energetic entry/exit strokes, while the capitals are more stately and structured, retaining italic movement without becoming overly decorative. Overall spacing and rhythm read as text-oriented, with a controlled, bookish texture in paragraphs and a lively emphasis in larger sizes.
It suits editorial typography where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis—magazine features, book interiors, introductions, and pull quotes. It also works well in formal print contexts such as invitations or programs, especially when set at medium to large sizes where the contrast and italic detailing can be appreciated.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—refined and authoritative with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its italic voice feels intentional and expressive, suggesting tradition, craft, and a formal register rather than casual modernity.
The design appears intended as a traditional, text-forward serif italic that provides refined emphasis while staying compatible with classic reading environments. Its goal seems to balance conventional proportions with a more calligraphic, expressive italic gesture for elevated typography.
Figures and capitals appear designed to harmonize with the italic flow, maintaining clear contrast and strong silhouettes at display sizes. The ampersand is notably expressive, reinforcing the calligraphic influence within an otherwise conventional text-serif framework.
