This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with hairline joins and neatly bracketed serifs that feel cut from a pen-informed model. The capitals are slightly narrow with sweeping entry and exit strokes, while the lowercase is lively and compact, featuring a single-storey italic “a” and “g” and a long, descending “f”. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with angled stress and delicate finishing strokes.
Ideal for editorial emphasis in books and magazines, quotations, captions, and refined brand or event materials where an italic voice is needed. It can also serve as a tasteful headline or subhead style when paired with a more restrained roman serif.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an elegant, formal cadence that recalls traditional book typography and editorial italics. Its energetic curves and sharp hairlines add refinement and a slightly dramatic flair without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, pen-influenced italic that delivers traditional readability while adding expressive movement for emphasis and hierarchy in text-centric layouts.
Letterfit appears moderately tight in the sample text, supporting smooth word shapes and continuous rhythm across longer lines. The design relies on fine hairlines for contrast, so it reads most convincingly at comfortable text-to-display sizes where those details remain clear.
