This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and distinctly calligraphic modulation. Strokes move from hairline-thin connections to fuller verticals, with sharp, tapered terminals and bracketed wedge-like serifs that keep the forms crisp. Proportions run slightly wide with open counters and a steady, readable rhythm; capitals are dignified and roomy, while the lowercase shows energetic entry/exit strokes and compact joins. Numerals follow the same italic, contrasty construction, with curled details and strong diagonals that match the letterforms.
It fits best in editorial typography—magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes—where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis or tone. It also works well for refined branding elements, formal announcements, and invitation-style materials, particularly at text-to-display sizes where the contrast and sharp terminals read cleanly.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a classic bookish elegance that feels suited to cultured, traditional settings. Its energetic italic movement adds drama and sophistication without becoming decorative or flamboyant.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, conventional italic companion with heightened contrast and a lively, calligraphic cadence. It aims to balance elegance and readability, delivering a formal, editorial texture while retaining enough energy for expressive emphasis.
The italic construction is consistent across cases, with especially lively diagonals and curved strokes (notably in letters like k, v, w, x, and y) and a strong presence of hairline links that give the texture a refined sparkle at larger sizes. Curves and bowls remain clean and controlled, helping the face stay orderly despite the expressive slant.
