This is a delicate serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered stroke endings that often flare subtly rather than terminating in heavy bracketed serifs. The letterforms lean with a steady angle and show a calligraphic logic: thin hairlines, fuller diagonals, and pointed terminals on letters like C, S, and J. Capitals are tall and spacious with clean internal counters, while the lowercase maintains an open, readable rhythm and a moderately compact, flowing texture in text. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast construction, with fine joins and tapered finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, literary layouts, and book interiors where an italic with character is needed for emphasis, introductions, or pull quotes. It also works for refined branding, packaging, and invitations when a classic, high-end voice is desired, particularly at medium to larger sizes.
The overall tone is cultured and poised, evoking bookish sophistication and classical formality. Its sharp terminals and lively italic movement add a sense of momentum and tact, making it feel articulate rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic voice with heightened contrast and tapered, slightly flared endings—prioritizing elegance and forward motion while remaining orderly and readable in continuous text.
In the sample text, the combination of strong contrast and fine hairlines produces an airy page color at larger sizes, with distinctive sparkle in curved letters and italic joins. The slanted forms and tapered endings create a continuous, graceful flow across words, while still keeping individual letters clearly differentiated.
