This is a high-contrast serif italic with sharply tapered, bracketed serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes move between hairline thins and sturdy stems, with smooth, calligraphic modulation that creates a lively rhythm. The lowercase shows an oldstyle flavor with rounded entry strokes, slightly bulbous terminals, and flowing joins, while capitals are more structured and open, maintaining elegant proportions without feeling rigid. Figures are slanted and lively, with varied widths and clear thick–thin transitions that match the letterforms.
It works well for editorial typography where a characterful italic is needed—book and magazine settings, pull quotes, introductions, and emphasis within serif body text. The crisp contrast and expressive forms also suit short headlines or display lines where its movement and detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking book typography and editorial refinement. Its energetic italic movement reads as expressive and slightly dramatic, adding warmth and sophistication rather than a purely mechanical feel.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a calligraphic underpinning, balancing traditional readability with expressive stroke modulation. It aims to provide a refined, classic voice for continuous text while still offering enough personality for prominent editorial use.
In text, the strong contrast and pronounced italics produce a distinctive texture, with crisp hairlines that give the design a bright, engraved-like sparkle at larger sizes. The slanted numerals and the more ornamental lowercase forms contribute to a dynamic, slightly vintage character.
