A crisp italic serif with tapered, flaring stroke endings and bracketed serifs that feel cut rather than slabbed. The design shows moderate thick–thin modulation with pointed terminals, giving letters a lively, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Proportions are open and elegant, with generous counters and a steady italic slant; capitals are stately and wide-shouldered while lowercase forms remain clear and flowing. Numerals follow the same sharp, angled logic, with clean curves and light finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, and essays where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or pull quotes. It can also serve effectively in refined branding, packaging, and formal materials like invitations when a classic, cultivated tone is desired.
The overall tone is refined and literary, combining a traditional bookish sensibility with a brisk, contemporary sharpness. Its italic movement reads as expressive but controlled, suggesting sophistication, credibility, and a touch of drama without becoming ornamental.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional italic reading experience with sharper, flared finishing strokes that add personality and pace. Its consistent modulation and controlled detailing suggest an intention to balance elegance with clarity across continuous text and prominent headings.
Diagonal stress and tapered joins create a consistent forward motion across both text and display sizes. The forms keep a relatively clean silhouette—more crisp than soft—so the texture feels airy rather than dense, especially in longer lines.
