This is a high-contrast italic serif with slender proportions and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes move from hairline-thin joins to sharp, weighty main stems, creating a crisp, engraved rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, with pointed terminals and teardrop-like details in places, giving curves a polished, calligraphic finish. The lowercase forms are compact with a moderate x-height, and the overall texture stays airy due to thin connecting strokes and open counters.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine work, and other long-form contexts where italic emphasis is important. It also performs nicely for elegant invitations, cultural branding, and headline or pull-quote settings where its contrast and slant can be featured at comfortable sizes.
The tone is refined and traditional, with a distinctly literary and editorial voice. Its sweeping italics and sharp contrast suggest formality, sophistication, and a sense of old-world craft appropriate for premium print settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic text voice with a refined, high-contrast palette—balancing readability with a decorative calligraphic edge. It aims to provide graceful emphasis and a premium, traditional feel in typographic layouts.
Capitals lean toward narrow, display-like silhouettes, and several glyphs show lively, slightly varying widths that add movement across a line. Numerals echo the same contrast and taper, reading best when given enough size or printing quality to preserve the hairlines.
