A high-contrast italic serif with a sharply tapered stroke model and prominent hairlines that snap into thicker stressed stems. Serifs are fine, bracketed, and pointed in feeling, with smooth entry/exit strokes that create a continuous, calligraphic rhythm. Capitals are moderately wide with sculpted curves and delicate terminals, while the lowercase shows fluid joins, narrow counters, and a lively slant that emphasizes forward motion. Figures are lining and slanted to match the italic, with elegant curves (notably in 2, 3, 5, 6, and 9) and thin, precise finishing strokes.
This font excels in editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book or chapter titles where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also suits refined invitations, branding wordmarks, and pull quotes that can take advantage of its crisp contrast and graceful rhythm.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, balancing classical bookish manners with a stylish, editorial flair. Its sharp contrast and swift italic movement suggest sophistication and a slightly dramatic, upscale voice suited to polished typography.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, conventional serif foundation expressed through a dedicated italic with pronounced contrast and a calligraphic cadence. It aims for a luxurious, literature-and-fashion sensibility—clean, sharp, and expressive without becoming ornamental.
Spacing reads open enough for display use, but the finest hairlines and needle-like terminals become a defining feature, making the face most confident at larger sizes or in high-quality output. The italic construction feels intentional rather than merely slanted, with distinctive, calligraphy-informed forms in the lowercase and numerals.
