This serif italic shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp hairlines and sturdy main strokes, creating a clear, high-contrast rhythm. The design is notably slanted with calligraphic movement, using bracketed, tapered serifs and gently flared terminals that keep forms sharp rather than soft. Proportions feel generous with open counters and ample spacing, while the overall color stays even despite lively stroke variation. Lowercase forms lean toward a traditional italic structure, with flowing joins and a slightly narrowed, energetic silhouette compared to the upright capitals.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, and pull quotes. It also fits refined headlines and subheads, literary covers, and other contexts that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif italic with clear readability at text and display sizes.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a sense of classical refinement typical of book and magazine typography. Its energetic italic cadence adds elegance and emphasis without becoming decorative or playful, projecting a confident, formal voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, workhorse serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic slant and high-contrast elegance, balancing readability with a refined, editorial texture for sustained reading and typographic hierarchy.
Capitals read stately and clean, while the lowercase carries more handwritten nuance; together they create a strong hierarchy for emphasis and titling. Numerals match the italic slant and contrast, keeping the same sharp, editorial texture in running settings.
