This is a high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and broader stressed strokes, showing a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are small and tapered with softly bracketed joins, and many stroke endings flare subtly, giving terminals a sharpened, slightly sculpted finish. The italics are moderately slanted with flowing entry/exit strokes on letters like a, f, and y, while capitals maintain a formal, classical construction with crisp curves and controlled swelling. Overall spacing feels balanced and text color stays even despite the contrast, producing a clean, polished texture in paragraphs.
It performs well in editorial settings such as magazines, book typography, and long-form articles where a classic italic voice is desired. It also suits premium branding and packaging that benefits from sharp contrast and a sophisticated, slightly calligraphic presence, especially in headlines, pull quotes, and short text blocks.
The font projects a refined, literary tone—poised and traditional, but with enough movement to feel lively rather than static. Its sharp hairlines and graceful italics evoke bookish sophistication and an editorial sensibility, suitable for conveying authority and taste.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with pronounced contrast and a refined, flared finishing detail, balancing traditional proportions with a graceful, contemporary crispness. It aims to read smoothly in text while retaining enough character for expressive editorial emphasis.
Figures follow the same contrast-and-italic logic as the letters, with curved forms (notably 2, 3, and 9) showing pronounced swashes and tapered terminals. The design’s flare at stroke ends adds a subtle display character, while the consistent stress and controlled curves keep it coherent for extended reading.
