A refined italic serif with sharp, tapered terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are small and bracketed, contributing to a crisp baseline rhythm while keeping counters open. The italics show a consistent rightward slant with calligraphic shaping in curves and joins; ascenders are relatively tall and the overall texture stays airy at text sizes. Numerals follow the same engraved, high-contrast logic, with delicate hairlines and smooth, continuous curves.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed—introductions, pull quotes, captions, and literary titles. It also fits formal printed materials such as invitations and programs, and works nicely for display lines where its contrast and slant can add elegance without becoming overly decorative.
The font projects a classic, cultivated tone—polished and bookish rather than loud. Its high-contrast sparkle and flowing italic forms suggest sophistication and ceremony, lending a poetic, editorial feel to headlines and emphasized passages.
Likely designed to provide a classic italic companion for text settings, emphasizing readability while offering a distinctly refined, calligraphic flavor. The goal appears to be a traditional, high-end serif impression with enough delicacy to feel premium in print and polished in digital composition.
Uppercase forms feel stately and measured, while lowercase letters introduce more cursive energy through looped descenders and gently swinging entry/exit strokes. Spacing appears generous enough to preserve clarity despite the fine hairlines, producing a clean, luminous page color in continuous text.
