This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines, fuller main strokes, and clean, tapered terminals. Serifs are finely bracketed and unobtrusive, with a distinctly calligraphic stress that shows in rounded forms and the gentle swelling of curves. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented, with compact counters and a smooth diagonal rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same italic, old-style sensibility, with varied widths and lively curves that match the letters.
Well-suited to editorial and book-style composition where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, and subheads. It also fits formal print applications—programs, invitations, and refined brand systems—where a graceful, traditional serif italic can carry a premium tone.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking classic book typography and formal correspondence. Its sharp, bright hairlines and controlled italic movement convey sophistication and a slightly ceremonial feel without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, readable italic with a calligraphic cadence and strong typographic color at text sizes, while preserving an elegant, high-contrast silhouette for display accents.
Capitals maintain a stately presence with restrained flourish, while the lowercase introduces more motion through angled joins and sweeping entry/exit strokes. The design favors a consistent, flowing texture in lines of text, with punctuation and dots kept small and neat to preserve delicacy.
