A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, bracketed serifs. The forms show a calligraphic rhythm: stems lean consistently, joins are smooth, and terminals often finish in fine, pointed or teardrop-like endings. Proportions feel traditional, with moderate ascenders/descenders and open counters that keep the texture airy at text sizes. Numerals and capitals carry the same crisp contrast and slightly sculpted, bookish structure, producing a lively, sparkling line when set in paragraphs.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or subheads. It can also serve in book and long-form settings where a traditional serif italic is expected, and in formal collateral such as invitations or programs that benefit from a refined, classical tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, leaning toward refined and formal rather than casual. Its energetic italic motion and high-contrast strokes suggest tradition, elegance, and a slightly dramatic editorial voice.
Likely designed as a conventional text-serif italic that preserves classical letterforms while emphasizing calligraphic motion and crisp contrast. The intent appears to balance readability with an elegant, expressive voice appropriate for typographic hierarchy and emphasis.
In continuous text the slant and contrast create a distinctive diagonal flow, with darker moments in curved strokes and very fine hairlines that add sparkle. The capitals feel stately and slightly engraved in character, pairing well with the more cursive, humanist movement of the lowercase.
