A slanted serif with pronounced contrast between thick stems and hairline joins, creating a crisp, sparkling texture in text. Serifs are finely tapered and largely bracketed, with many terminals ending in sharp, angled strokes that echo broad-nib calligraphy. Proportions feel moderately narrow with generous curves and a smooth, continuous rhythm; capitals are stately and open, while lowercase forms show lively modulation and delicate entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast construction, with elegant curves and light, pointed terminals that keep the set visually consistent.
Well suited for editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, essays, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also support upscale branding, packaging, and invitations, especially when paired with a calmer roman companion for contrast and hierarchy.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, leaning toward a literary, editorial elegance rather than casual warmth. Its sharp terminals and flowing italic motion convey formality and a sense of tradition, suitable for refined, classic typography.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, high-contrast italic that reads as refined and formal, combining classical serif structure with calligraphic movement. Its emphasis on sharp terminals and smooth modulation suggests a focus on elegant text setting and expressive emphasis within longer reading contexts.
In paragraph settings the face produces a bright, airy color due to the thin hairlines and small finishing details; this gives a sophisticated look but also makes the design feel delicate at small sizes or in low-contrast reproduction. The italic angle is assertive and consistent across letters and numerals, emphasizing forward motion and an expressive, handwritten undertone without becoming decorative.
