A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, wedge-like bracketed serifs and clearly calligraphic modulation. Stems and bowls show an oblique stress and a lively diagonal rhythm, with narrow apertures and compact counters that keep the texture dense but controlled. The capitals are slightly condensed and strongly slanted, while the lowercase shows flowing, looped forms (notably in a, g, and y) with decisive entry/exit strokes. Numerals share the italic slant and contrast, with crisp terminals and prominent curved strokes that match the text color.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary hierarchy within serif text. It also works effectively for literary titles, pull quotes, and formal printed pieces where a classic, refined italic tone is desired.
The font conveys a classic, bookish sophistication with a distinctly traditional, slightly dramatic italic voice. Its sharp serifs and energetic stroke contrast suggest formality and authority, while the cursive inflection keeps it expressive rather than mechanical.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text italic that brings traditional calligraphic energy to serif typography. Its consistent slant, sharp serifs, and controlled proportions aim for a confident, readable italic voice for publishing and formal communication.
The overall color is fairly dark for an italic due to the compact spacing and concentrated thick strokes, which helps it hold up in display and emphasized text. Curved glyphs (C, O, Q, S) show smooth, continuous modulation, and the italic angle is consistent across letters and figures for a cohesive page rhythm.
