A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered terminals and delicately bracketed serifs that read as crisp wedges in the capitals and more flowing, pen-like finishes in the lowercase. The axis is consistently slanted with clear calligraphic modulation: thin hairlines, fuller stressed strokes, and pointed joins that give contours a lively snap. Proportions are balanced for text, with a moderate x-height, compact bowls, and slightly extended ascenders and descenders that add elegance without feeling overly ornate. Figures follow the same italic rhythm, with narrow forms and angled stress that keeps them visually aligned with the letters.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classical italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or refined typographic hierarchy. It also fits formal communications such as programs, invitations, and cultural branding where an elegant, literary tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking classic book typography and formal editorial settings. Its brisk italic movement and sharp finishing details add a sense of sophistication and momentum, making the voice feel confident and slightly dramatic while remaining restrained.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes a polished reading texture and a recognizable, classical voice. Its sharp terminals and disciplined contrast suggest a focus on refined emphasis within body text rather than expressive display styling.
The design shows a strong, consistent slant across caps, lowercase, and numerals, and it maintains clarity through pronounced stroke contrast and open interior spaces. Pointed beak-like terminals and decisive diagonals contribute to a crisp texture, especially in sequences of letters where the italic rhythm becomes more pronounced.
