A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are small and bracketed, with softly cupped joins that give strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. Curves are open and generously rounded while stems stay crisp, creating a lively rhythm across words. The italic construction is evident in the forward lean, the flowing entry/exit strokes, and the slightly more dynamic proportions in letters like J, Q, and the two-storey g.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, leads, or pull quotes. It also works effectively for headlines and subheads that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif with motion. In formal collateral such as invitations or programs, it can provide a polished, traditional tone.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and formal editorial settings. Its energetic italic motion adds a subtle sense of elegance and warmth rather than strict austerity, making it feel refined and expressive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with heightened contrast and a calligraphic touch, balancing readability with expressive stroke endings. It aims to deliver a classic literary feel while maintaining enough sharpness and rhythm for confident display use.
The numerals follow the same high-contrast, tapered logic, with curving bowls and pointed terminals that read clearly at display sizes. Spacing appears slightly varied from glyph to glyph, contributing to an organic, text-like color and a less mechanical texture in longer passages.
