This is a slanted serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. The italic construction is evident in the forward-leaning axis, the fluid entry/exit strokes, and the gently calligraphic modulation through curves and diagonals. Uppercase forms feel classical and open, while lowercase shows a lively rhythm with slightly varied widths and generous internal counters. Terminals are sharp and controlled, with occasional small curls on forms like the j and y, reinforcing a handwritten-italic sensibility without becoming decorative.
Well-suited for editorial typography where italic emphasis is frequent—book and magazine text, pull quotes, captions, and refined marketing copy. It can also serve effectively in formal settings such as invitations or brand materials where a classic, sophisticated italic is desired.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional book typography and formal editorial settings. Its high contrast and graceful slant give it a poised, cultured voice that reads as premium and restrained rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a traditional text companion italic: to provide graceful emphasis and hierarchy while maintaining a classic serif color and strong typographic consistency across letters and figures.
In text, the spacing and italics produce a smooth, continuous line flow, with clear differentiation between letters and a consistent sparkle across mixed-case passages. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with elegant curves and fine terminals that match the serif detailing.
