A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairlines, giving strokes a sharp, engraved clarity. Serifs are finely bracketed and tapered, with long, flowing entry/exit strokes and a lively diagonal stress that reads clearly in extended text. Curves are generous and open, counters are clean, and letterforms show a subtle calligraphic sweep, especially in the lowercase where tails and terminals lengthen the rhythm. Figures follow the same italic logic, with slender forms and graceful curves that align visually with the text.
Works well for editorial and book typography where an elegant italic voice is needed—introductions, quotations, captions, and emphasis within serif body text. It also suits refined print pieces such as magazine features, literary programs, and formal invitations where a delicate, high-contrast texture is desirable.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a poised, classical elegance associated with editorial typography. Its slant and high-contrast construction add a sense of motion and sophistication, leaning more toward cultured and formal than casual or utilitarian.
Likely drawn to provide a classic, high-contrast italic that adds refinement and emphasis without sacrificing readability in continuous reading. The consistent stress, tapered serifs, and calligraphic terminals suggest an intention to balance traditional elegance with a smooth, contemporary rhythm in text.
In text settings the spacing feels even and airy, with a delicate color on the page due to the fine hairlines. The italic construction is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive, continuous rhythm suited to long-form composition.
