A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and swelling main strokes, showing a consistent rightward slant and a smooth, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered terminals and occasional teardrop-like endings that reinforce the pen-driven feel. Capitals are relatively narrow and poised with sharp entry strokes, while the lowercase uses compact proportions and modest extenders, keeping the texture tight and lively. Figures match the italic style, with delicate curves and thin entry/exit strokes that sit comfortably alongside text.
Well-suited for book and magazine typography where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or display copy. It also fits invitations, certificates, and refined branding where a classic, calligraphic serif tone is desired, especially at medium to larger sizes where the hairlines can remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a classic, editorial elegance. Its crisp contrast and flowing italic movement suggest sophistication and a slightly dramatic, old-world sensibility rather than a casual or utilitarian voice.
Likely designed as a traditional text-italic companion with heightened contrast and a polished, print-oriented look. The emphasis appears to be on graceful movement, crisp detailing, and a cultured tone appropriate for editorial and formal settings.
In running text the face forms a bright, sparkling color due to very thin connecting strokes and sharp joins, giving it a dressy presence. The italic construction is consistent across letters and numerals, and the ampersand reads as a prominent, decorative accent.
