This is a slanted serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes show a lively, pen-like modulation and tapered terminals, with gently curved joins and a slightly springy baseline rhythm. Uppercase forms are compact and formal, while the lowercase is more fluid, with pronounced entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like gestures (notably on letters such as Q and w). Counters are moderately open and the overall color stays even in text, though the italic shaping creates a dynamic, forward movement.
It works well for editorial typography—book interiors, essays, and magazines—especially where italic is used prominently for emphasis, quotations, or titles within text. At larger sizes it can also serve for formal headlines, literary branding, and invitation-style materials where a classic serif italic is desired.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking bookish, old-world elegance rather than modern minimalism. Its energetic italic flow gives it a rhetorical, expressive feel suited to emphasis and refined presentation.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a strong calligraphic influence, aiming to balance readability with a graceful, expressive slant. It prioritizes traditional proportions and crisp serif detailing while adding distinctive movement for stylistic emphasis.
The italic angle is assertive and consistent, and the letterforms favor sharp, crisp finishing over softness. Numerals follow the same slanted, serifed logic and read as part of the same typographic voice, reinforcing a cohesive, classic-text impression.
