This is a high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines, stronger main strokes, and bracketed wedge-like serifs that feel cut and calligraphic rather than blunt. The italic angle is pronounced, with lively entry/exit strokes and tapered terminals that create a flowing rhythm across words. Uppercase forms are compact and sculpted, showing sharp diagonals and elegant curves, while the lowercase is more cursive in motion with a single-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and a long, slightly sweeping “f.” Numerals follow the same slanted, tapered logic, with open shapes and clear contrast that keep them elegant but slightly display-leaning in color.
It suits editorial settings where an expressive italic voice is desired, such as pull quotes, introductions, and magazine features. The style also works well for book covers, formal invitations, certificates, and refined brand wordmarks, particularly when set at medium to large sizes where the contrast and tapering can read cleanly.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, evoking book typography, classic publishing, and formal correspondence. Its sharp contrast and energetic italic movement give it a sense of sophistication and drama, making text feel more expressive and ceremonial than neutral.
The font appears designed to provide a classic, high-contrast italic companion suited to refined typography, prioritizing elegance and forward motion over neutrality. Its construction suggests an intention to convey tradition and authority while adding a distinctly expressive, calligraphic cadence in running text and display settings.
The design’s stroke modulation is prominent enough that thin connections and hairlines become a key part of the texture, especially in longer lines of text. Letterforms show a slightly varied, lively rhythm typical of italic construction, with generous curves and pointed terminals that emphasize motion and direction.
