A crisp italic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and bracketed, finely tapered serifs. Letterforms show calligraphic influence in the entry/exit strokes, with a lively rightward slant and slightly compact proportions that keep word shapes tight and coherent. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are sharp and understated, and counters remain open enough for continuous reading. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and descenders, matching the text rhythm and giving the set a traditional texture.
Well-suited for italic roles in long-form typography such as book text, literature, and editorial layouts where a traditional voice is desired. It works especially well for emphasis, quotes, pull quotes, and subheads that need a refined, classic italic texture. The high-contrast detailing also makes it effective in print-oriented compositions and elegant brand or cultural communications.
The overall tone is literary and refined, suggesting classic book typography with an editorial polish. Its energetic italic movement feels expressive without becoming decorative, lending a sense of sophistication and seriousness. The combination of high modulation and clean detailing reads as elegant and cultivated rather than playful or rustic.
Likely designed as a conventional text italic that prioritizes fluent reading rhythm and a classic typographic color. The controlled contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle-style numerals suggest an aim to echo traditional book and editorial italics while maintaining a clean, contemporary finish.
The italic construction is consistent across capitals and lowercase, with strong diagonal stress in rounded letters and a pronounced, sweeping feel in forms like the Q and g. Spacing appears even in the sample text, producing a steady gray value despite the contrast, and punctuation and numerals harmonize well with the slanted text color.
