A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced modulation between thick stems and hairline curves. Serifs are bracketed and crisp, with a lively calligraphic entry/exit on many letters, creating a forward-leaning rhythm. Proportions are fairly traditional with moderate ascenders and descenders, and the forms show subtle width variation across the alphabet, giving the texture a dynamic, slightly elastic flow. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic slant, with curved terminals and delicate joins that keep the color elegant rather than heavy.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or refined subheads. It also fits formal print applications—programs, invitations, and brand collateral—especially when set with generous leading to preserve the delicacy of the hairlines.
The overall tone is classic and cultured, evoking bookish sophistication and editorial polish. Its italic energy reads expressive and confident, with a refined, slightly dramatic sparkle from the hairlines and sharp terminals.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic serif with elevated contrast and a calligraphic sensibility, balancing traditional proportions with a more spirited, stylish slant for expressive setting.
At text sizes the contrast and fine hairlines produce an airy, bright texture, while at larger sizes the crisp curves and bracketed serifs become more prominent and stylish. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, lending continuity to headings and emphasis within text.
