This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with tapered terminals and sharp joins that give the forms a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Capitals are broad and slightly swashed in feel, while the lowercase is compact with a traditional, readable structure and a moderate x-height. Numerals share the same italic energy, with angled foot serifs and clean, pointed finishes that keep the set cohesive.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and literary publishing where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also performs nicely in headlines, subheads, and pull quotes when a classic, high-contrast serif character is desired.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a classic editorial flavor. Its slanted, high-contrast drawing reads as refined and expressive rather than utilitarian, lending a sense of tradition and formality to text.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic companion with strong typographic color and a distinctly classical serif silhouette. Its contrast and sharp detailing suggest a focus on elegant emphasis in text settings and refined display use rather than purely neutral body copy.
The italic construction is consistent across cases, with energetic diagonals (notably in letters like v, w, x, y) and neatly tapered entry/exit strokes. Counters remain fairly open despite the contrast, helping the face stay legible while still feeling distinctly display-leaning in texture.
