A high-contrast italic serif with a calligraphic, oldstyle construction and pronounced diagonal stress. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with lively, tapered terminals and crisp hairlines that sharpen into thickened stems. The rhythm is slightly irregular in a humanist way, with open counters and a gently right-leaning, flowing baseline feel; capitals remain authoritative but still slanted and tapered, and the figures follow the same engraved, contrasty logic.
Well suited to editorial and book settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or literary titles. It also fits formal print materials—programs, invitations, and refined branding—especially at text to display sizes where its contrast and tapered detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, suggesting bookish elegance and editorial sophistication. Its slanted, pen-like movement adds warmth and momentum, balancing formality with a subtle handcrafted character.
The design appears intended as a classic, book-oriented italic that delivers strong typographic color and traditional elegance. Its high-contrast modulation and bracketed serifs aim to evoke an established, literary tone while keeping the texture lively and readable in continuous text.
Round letters show a clear thick–thin modulation and curved joins, while diagonals and entry strokes create a consistent forward motion. The numerals appear designed to harmonize with text—compact, contrasty, and slightly stylized—supporting a cohesive page color when set in running lines.
