A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairlines and tapered, swelling curves that suggest a calligraphic pen angle. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with crisp terminals and a lively rhythm created by generous italic slant and varied entry/exit strokes. Capitals are narrow and poised with clean, pointed apexes, while lowercase forms show flowing joins, angled stress, and distinctive italic constructions (single-storey a and g), keeping counters open despite the delicate strokes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and italic motion, reading as traditional, text-friendly figures.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazines, book interiors, and long-form articles—where an italic voice needs to feel formal and well-crafted. It also works effectively for pull quotes, headlines, and refined branding applications that benefit from a graceful, high-contrast serif presence.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, projecting editorial sophistication and a sense of tradition. Its brisk hairlines and graceful slant add a fashionable, expressive voice without tipping into decorative script.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with pronounced elegance: a complementary italic that can carry emphasis in running text while also scaling up for display moments. Its consistent pen-like modulation and restrained detailing suggest an aim for classic readability with a distinctly refined character.
Spacing appears airy with clear separation between letters, helping the thin features breathe in setting. The italic shapes maintain consistent stroke modulation across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, smooth texture in paragraphs while preserving crisp detail in larger sizes.
