This is a high-contrast italic serif with a crisp, calligraphic construction and a lively rightward slant. Thin hairlines and sharp, tapering serifs combine with broader main strokes to create a bright, elegant texture. Curves show a subtle diagonal stress, terminals are often teardrop-like or pointed, and joins feel clean and controlled rather than soft. Spacing reads slightly open for an italic, and the overall color stays refined and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
It works well for editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and refined headlines where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or atmosphere. The crisp contrast and graceful rhythm also suit invitations, cultural branding, and pull quotes, especially at medium to large sizes where hairlines can remain clear.
The tone is classical and polished, evoking bookish sophistication and editorial formality. Its sharp hairlines and energetic italic rhythm lend a sense of cultivated drama without becoming decorative or playful.
The design appears intended as a conventional italic text serif with a distinctly calligraphic edge, balancing readability with an elevated, traditional character. It aims to provide an elegant italic companion for formal typographic systems while remaining disciplined enough for extended composition.
Capitals are stately with pronounced contrast and carefully shaped entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase maintains a smooth, continuous flow that supports longer phrases. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and look suited to running text or display settings where elegance is prioritized over ruggedness.
