A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline details. Serifs are fine and tapered, generally bracketed into stems, with subtly calligraphic shaping in curved joins and terminals. Proportions feel moderately narrow with lively, uneven character widths, and counters stay fairly open despite the contrast. The lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with a single-storey a and g, a long, flowing f, and a curved-tailed y; capitals are restrained and slightly condensed with clean, sharp finishing strokes. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and descenders that blend naturally into running text.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is prominent—book and magazine text, essays, pull quotes, captions, and refined stationery. It can also work in premium brand systems for short statements, packaging copy, and formal announcements where a classic, high-contrast italic is desired.
The overall tone is poised and bookish, suggesting editorial seriousness with a touch of flourish. Its italic energy reads expressive yet controlled, evoking classic publishing, invitations, and cultured branding rather than casual or utilitarian use.
The design appears intended as a classic text italic that balances readability with a distinctly elegant, calligraphic flavor. By combining sharp hairlines, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle numerals, it aims to deliver a traditional publishing feel with a graceful, expressive cadence.
At text sizes the strong contrast and delicate hairlines create a bright, sparkling texture, while the consistent slant and generous curves keep lines feeling fluid. Round letters like O and Q are smooth and spacious, and the ampersand is notably decorative, adding a traditional, humanist accent.
