This serif italic shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp hairlines and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are small and bracketed, often forming wedge-like entry and exit strokes that emphasize a calligraphic flow. The overall slant is consistent, with lively curves and slightly elastic spacing that creates a rhythmic, variable texture across words. Capitals are sculpted and formal, while the lowercase maintains a steady x-height and uses compact, angled joins that keep the color light and refined.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also support refined branding, packaging, and invitations, especially when paired with a calmer roman companion for hierarchy and contrast.
The font conveys a cultivated, bookish elegance with a distinctly editorial polish. Its high-contrast strokes and flowing italic movement feel classical and poised, suggesting tradition and sophistication rather than casualness.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literary serif italic with pronounced contrast and carefully shaped serifs, aiming to deliver a refined tone and a fluid reading rhythm. Its emphasis on crisp hairlines and tapered terminals suggests a focus on elegance and typographic nuance rather than rugged versatility.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized construction, with narrow forms and tapered ends that match the text’s diagonal momentum. In continuous text, the sharp terminals and hairlines create a crisp sparkle, making the type feel most at home at comfortable reading sizes or in display-like settings where its details can breathe.
