A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant and a lively, calligraphic modulation, with thin hairlines, stronger diagonal/vertical stems, and pointed entry/exit terminals. Capitals are relatively narrow with sculpted curves (notably in C, G, S) and fine finishing details, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and flowing joins. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with varied proportions and curved forms that match the italic rhythm.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, and long-form reading where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also fits refined applications like invitations, cultural programs, and brand systems that want a classic, polished tone in headings or pull quotes.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a formal, editorial character. Its sweeping italics and sharp contrast evoke classic book typography and tasteful, upscale communication rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
This font appears designed as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes classical proportion, strong stroke contrast, and a fluent reading rhythm. The detailing suggests an intention to provide an elegant companion for emphasis and display while remaining composed enough for continuous editorial use.
Spacing and rhythm read smooth and even in continuous text, with pronounced diagonals and curved strokes giving the face momentum. Distinctive pointed terminals and the italic construction help maintain clarity in display sizes while still feeling suited to extended reading when used with comfortable leading.
