A high-contrast serif italic with a crisp, calligraphic construction and finely tapered hairlines against sturdier main strokes. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with long entry/exit strokes and a pronounced rightward slant that creates an energetic, forward rhythm. The lowercase shows traditional, bookish proportions with a moderate x-height, open counters, and lively modulation, while capitals remain elegant and slightly narrow, designed to sit comfortably in running text. Numerals follow the same italicized, modulated logic with clear, traditional forms and delicate terminals.
This font fits well in editorial and book contexts where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, citations, or pull quotes. It can also serve refined invitations, programs, and formal announcements, and works effectively for short to medium passages where its contrast and slant contribute a polished, traditional texture.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and formal editorial settings. Its strong contrast and graceful slant feel refined and expressive rather than bluntly utilitarian, lending a sense of sophistication and ceremony to text.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic that prioritizes classic proportions, clear word shapes, and a refined, high-contrast rhythm. Its calligraphic cues and carefully finished serifs suggest it was drawn to provide an authoritative, traditional italic companion for reading-focused typography.
In extended sample text the spacing reads even and the stroke contrast stays consistent across letters, giving paragraphs a smooth, woven texture. The italic angle and tapered joins add motion and emphasis, making the face especially suited to highlighting and quoted material without looking overly decorative.
