A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and delicate hairline finishing. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation, with tapered entry/exit strokes and lightly bracketed serifs that stay sharp and unobtrusive. The proportions are balanced and text-oriented, with open inner counters and a steady baseline rhythm; capitals feel tall and poised while lowercase maintains an even, readable texture. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall color on the page is light, giving paragraphs a crisp, refined weave.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or display-like passages. It can also serve refined branding, packaging, and invitations, especially where a classic, cultured tone is desired at medium to larger sizes.
The style reads as cultured and traditional, with a distinctly editorial tone. Its italic energy feels polished rather than flamboyant, suggesting sophistication, ceremony, and literary credibility.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic that prioritizes grace and readability: strong contrast for elegance, measured proportions for sustained setting, and carefully tapered details to create a smooth, continuous rhythm in paragraphs.
The numeral set follows the same calligraphic contrast and slant, giving figures a graceful, bookish presence. Letterforms show consistent tapering and careful terminals, which helps keep the italic from looking hurried and supports clean word shapes in continuous text.
