This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear modulation with thin hairlines and thicker main stems, producing a lively, calligraphic rhythm. The letterforms are relatively narrow in their internal spacing and use tapered entries and exits, with pointed joins and sharp terminals that keep the texture clean at display sizes. Lowercase proportions read as traditional, with a moderate x-height and distinctly shaped ascenders and descenders; numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic with elegant curves and fine finishing.
It suits editorial design and book typography where an italic with strong contrast is needed for emphasis, quotations, or sophisticated titling. It can also work well for formal invitations, cultural programs, and refined headlines where the slanted, high-contrast serif character can be shown at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying refinement and formality rather than casual friendliness. Its italic energy adds a sense of motion and elegance, suggesting editorial polish and a traditional typographic voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with a calligraphic foundation, balancing traditional proportions with pronounced contrast for an elegant, authoritative reading tone.
In running text, the combination of thin hairlines and angled strokes creates a bright, shimmering texture, especially in curved letters and in the capitals. The italic forms are consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving headings and emphasis a cohesive, old-style editorial feel.
