A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines, weighty stems, and crisply bracketed serifs that taper to sharp points. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, with flowing joins and a slightly calligraphic modulation that gives characters a lively, forward rhythm. Capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows compact, sculpted forms with distinctive, teardrop-like terminals and a narrow, energetic texture. Numerals follow the same contrast and slanted construction, reading clearly at display sizes while retaining a delicate, engraved-like finesse.
Well suited to editorial typography, book or chapter titling, and magazine layouts where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits formal branding, event materials, and invitations, especially where contrast and refined detail can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining old-world formality with a graceful, expressive slant. It suggests sophistication and tradition, with enough movement to feel stylish rather than static.
Likely intended as a classic text-serif italic with heightened contrast and carefully cut finishing, designed to deliver an authoritative, traditional feel while adding momentum and emphasis through a strong slant.
Round letters maintain tight, controlled curves, and diagonals and arms end in fine, pointed finishing strokes that enhance the crispness. The texture is moderately dense for an italic, producing an assertive presence in headlines while remaining disciplined in longer lines.
