A high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines, fuller main strokes, and bracketed wedge-like serifs that create a sharp, polished silhouette. The letterforms show a clear rightward slant and a calligraphic, diagonal-stress feel, with slightly modulated joins and tapered terminals. Proportions are fairly traditional with a moderate x-height, open counters, and a flowing rhythm; capitals read stately and structured while the lowercase maintains a smooth, continuous texture. Numerals share the same contrast and slant, with elegant curves and a text-like presence.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts where a classic italic serif is needed for emphasis or voice. It can work effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and subheads, and also for formal invitations or branding that benefits from a refined, traditional tone.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, suggesting sophistication and tradition without feeling overly ornate. Its italic motion adds energy and emphasis, giving the face a literary, cultured voice suited to refined messaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast italic companion for text typography—aiming to provide elegant emphasis with a smooth reading rhythm while retaining crisp, authoritative details.
In text, the strong thick–thin contrast and pointed details produce a bright, crisp page color, while the italic angle encourages a dynamic line flow. The design balances sharpness with readability, though the finest hairlines will naturally become more delicate at smaller sizes or on low-resolution output.
