This is a high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and clear calligraphic construction. Strokes shift from thick stems to hairline connections, with noticeable diagonal stress and tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and relatively sharp, giving the letterforms a crisp, engraved feel while keeping curves smooth and continuous. Proportions are moderately narrow overall, with generous ascenders/descenders and italic-specific shaping (including flowing diagonals and compact joins) that creates an energetic texture in lines of text.
It works best for italic roles in long-form typography—book and magazine settings, emphasis within serif body text, and refined editorial layouts. The expressive contrast also suits pull quotes, short titles, and formal collateral where an elegant italic presence is desired.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with an elegant, slightly dramatic italic voice suited to refined typography. Its contrast and brisk slant suggest formality and sophistication, while the lively stroke modulation keeps it expressive rather than rigid.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with a calligraphic backbone: readable at text sizes, but with enough contrast and tapering to deliver a polished, classical character. It balances formal tradition with a lively italic cadence for clear emphasis and refined tone.
In text, the rhythm is driven by consistent slant and alternating thick-thin patterns, producing strong word shapes and a distinctly typographic color. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic motion, aligning visually with the letters for cohesive setting in running copy.
