A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapering hairline serifs and smoothly swelling stems that create a clear thick–thin rhythm. The slant is pronounced and consistent, with calligraphic energy in the curves and joins, while counters remain open and well-shaped. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow, with crisp terminals and controlled curves; lowercase shows an italic, pen-driven construction, including a single-storey a and g and long, elegant extenders. Numerals follow the same contrast and slanted axis, reading cleanly at text sizes with a refined, bookish texture.
Well-suited for editorial and book typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, and titles. It also fits premium collateral—such as invitations, cultural programs, and refined brand accents—where high-contrast elegance and a classic serif presence are desirable.
The overall tone is cultured and polished, evoking traditional publishing and editorial typography. Its sharp contrast and flowing italic forms convey sophistication and a sense of ceremony, making the page feel considered and premium rather than casual.
Likely intended as a conventional, literature-friendly italic that delivers a strong sense of tradition and hierarchy. The emphasis appears to be on graceful, calligraphic motion and crisp contrast to provide an expressive yet readable typographic color.
The design maintains a steady rhythm across lines, with noticeable stroke modulation and delicate hairlines that add sparkle in larger settings. The italic structure is lively but disciplined, giving emphasis without turning overly decorative.
