A high-contrast serif italic with sharp, wedge-like terminals and finely bracketed serifs that taper into hairlines. The overall rhythm is lively and slanted, with a calligraphic feel in the lowercase: rounded bowls, looping joins, and gently varying stroke modulation across letters. Capitals are more upright and sculpted, with crisp serifs and pronounced thick–thin transitions that read cleanly in display settings. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with delicate entry/exit hairlines.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and formal communications where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also performs effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and short passages that benefit from high-contrast refinement and traditional serif detailing.
The font conveys a classic, bookish elegance with a distinctly traditional tone. Its italic energy feels expressive yet disciplined, suggesting editorial authority and a refined, slightly old-world sophistication.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, literature-friendly serif with a spirited italic style, combining classic proportions with crisp contrast for a polished reading texture and strong typographic hierarchy.
The italic forms show noticeable personality in letters like a, e, f, g, and y, with soft curves and tapered terminals that enhance texture in continuous text. Spacing appears comfortable in the sample paragraph, producing an even color despite the high contrast and pointed details.
