This is a slanted, high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and fuller main strokes, producing a crisp, engraved color on the page. Serifs are finely bracketed and tapered, with pointed terminals and a distinctly calligraphic, pen-driven modulation. Curves are smooth and slightly narrow in feel, while joins and diagonals stay clean and controlled, giving the face a poised rhythm. The lowercase shows lively italics with compact counters and a consistent forward lean; numerals follow the same contrast and angled stress, with a slightly ornamental, old-style flavor.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also serve in invitations, cultural branding, and display settings that benefit from refined contrast and a classic serif presence, especially at moderate to larger sizes.
The overall tone is cultured and polished, leaning toward traditional book and editorial sophistication rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its pronounced contrast and italic energy add a sense of ceremony and flourish, evoking classic publishing and formal correspondence.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with elevated, italic calligraphy—balancing tradition and refinement through high contrast, tapered detailing, and a smooth, continuous slant for expressive typography.
In the text sample, the strong thick–thin pattern remains clear at larger sizes, where the hairlines and tapered serifs read as delicate details. The italic forms create a dynamic line flow, with distinctive, expressive shapes in letters like a, f, g, and w that contribute to a curated, literary personality.
