A high-contrast serif italic with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. Serifs are bracketed and fine, with a calligraphic entry/exit feeling, and the italic slant is steady rather than exaggerated. Uppercase forms are dignified and slightly narrow, with crisp terminals and smooth curves; the lowercase shows flowing joins and a compact, bookish rhythm. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and noticeable ascenders/descenders that blend naturally into text.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and magazines, especially for italic roles such as emphasis, quotations, captions, and introductions. It can also work effectively in upscale packaging or identity applications where a classic italic voice is desired and reproduction quality can support fine hairlines.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking literary and editorial typography. Its crisp contrast and poised italic angle feel formal and articulate, lending a sense of refinement and authority without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif italic that prioritizes readability and a classic typographic color while providing an elegant, editorial emphasis style.
Spacing appears moderately open for an italic, helping counters stay clear despite the thin hairlines. Curves and diagonals maintain a consistent stress, and the italic forms keep a controlled, conventional texture suited to continuous reading.
