This is a high-contrast serif italic with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Stems are relatively slender against fuller curves, producing sharp light–dark modulation and a lively diagonal rhythm. The slant is moderate and consistent, with tapered terminals and occasional teardrop-like finishing on curves. Proportions feel traditional, with a compact, readable lowercase and an italic that keeps counters open while letting strokes flare subtly at joins and ends.
Well-suited for editorial typography and long-form work where an italic is needed for emphasis—books, magazines, essays, and scholarly material. It also performs well in refined display roles such as literary titles, pull quotes, and formal invitations, especially at medium to larger sizes where the contrast and detailing remain clear.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with an editorial elegance that suggests literature, academia, and traditional publishing. Its italic character reads expressive rather than casual, giving text a poised, slightly dramatic emphasis. The high contrast and sharp finishing add a sense of formality and refinement.
The design appears intended as a traditional text serif italic that balances readability with calligraphic expressiveness. Its sharp contrast, bracketed wedge serifs, and controlled slant aim to deliver authoritative, classic typography with a polished, editorial finish.
Capitals show strong, sculpted serifing and a stately presence, while the lowercase keeps a smooth handwritten flow. Numerals match the texty, old-style sensibility in their curving forms and contrast, aligning visually with the italic’s rhythmic texture. In continuous text the face creates a bright, patterned color with pronounced stroke contrast, best supported by comfortable line spacing.
