A slanted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic influence: thick–thin transitions are strong, with tapered entry/exit strokes and subtly sheared curves. Uppercase shapes are compact and refined, while the lowercase is rhythmic and slightly narrow, with a single-storey “g” and a gently hooked “f” that emphasizes the italic flow. Numerals follow the same oblique, high-contrast pattern, with curving forms and sharp terminals that stay consistent across the set.
This style is well suited to editorial applications such as book typography, magazine features, and sophisticated branding where an italic voice is central. It can work effectively for headings, pull quotes, and short to medium passages that benefit from a classic, high-contrast texture.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with an elegant, editorial voice. Its pronounced italic movement and sharp finishing details give it a formal, classic character suited to refined typography rather than utilitarian interface styling.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable italic with strong contrast and a refined, historically informed flavor. It prioritizes a graceful writing-like motion and clean serif structure to deliver an authoritative, polished typographic tone.
The italic angle is assertive, and the contrast creates bright internal counters and a lively line texture. Curves show diagonal stress, and many strokes end in pointed or teardrop-like terminals, reinforcing a pen-informed feel.
