A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a calligraphic, angled-stress feel. Serifs are finely bracketed and sharp, with tapered terminals and a generally crisp, engraved-like finish. Capitals are tall and stately with clean joining logic, while the lowercase shows lively, slightly varied rhythms through ascenders/descenders and narrow internal spaces. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, reading refined rather than utilitarian.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for magazine features, pull quotes, and refined headlines, as well as formal collateral such as invitations and programs where elegance and tradition are desired.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting tradition, authority, and a sense of cultured refinement. Its energetic italic flow adds a touch of sophistication and motion without becoming decorative, making it feel suited to classic publishing and formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, publication-oriented italic that balances readability with high-contrast finesse. It aims to provide a dignified, classic typographic color while adding dynamic movement through its calligraphic slant and sharpened detailing.
The italic construction is consistent across cases, with a smooth forward lean and carefully controlled entry/exit strokes that keep word shapes cohesive. Contrast and sharp detailing suggest it will look best when given enough size or printing resolution to preserve the hairlines and delicate serifs.
