A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs that keep the forms refined rather than heavy. The capitals are broad and authoritative with smooth, slightly calligraphic stress, while the lowercase is compact and rhythmic, showing teardrop-like terminals and gently swelling strokes typical of text-oriented italics. Curves are clean and controlled, counters stay open, and the numerals share the same italicized, high-contrast construction with firm baseline anchoring and neatly tapered joins.
Well-suited for editorial typography where a classic italic voice is needed—emphasis in body copy, quotations, and citations—as well as refined headings in magazines or book design. It can also serve as an elegant display italic for titles and pull quotes when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking bookish authority and old-world formality. Its energetic italic flow adds a sense of sophistication and motion, reading as expressive without tipping into decorative script.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif italic that delivers a familiar literary tone with a touch of calligraphic flair. It prioritizes readable rhythm and traditional proportions while providing enough character for tasteful emphasis and headline use.
Stroke modulation is consistent across letters and figures, and the oblique angle is steady, producing an even typographic color in paragraphs. Diagonal strokes and entry/exit terminals add liveliness, while the sharp serifs and high contrast keep the texture crisp at display sizes.
