A right-leaning serif italic with crisp, tapered serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves show a diagonal stress and smooth, calligraphic transitions, with fine hairlines and fuller verticals creating an elegant rhythm. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are stately and open, lowercase forms are compact and flowing, and joins maintain a consistent, slightly sharpened pen-like finish. Numerals appear oldstyle, blending naturally with the lowercase through varied heights and ascenders/descenders.
Well-suited to extended reading in books and long-form editorial layouts where an italic text face is needed for emphasis, quotations, or running commentary. It also works effectively for refined headings, pull quotes, and formal stationery where a classic italic presence adds sophistication without resorting to script.
The overall tone is cultured and traditional, with a refined, slightly dramatic italic voice. It reads as literary and editorial rather than casual, lending text a sense of ceremony and polish.
The design appears intended as a traditional text italic that balances legibility with a distinctly calligraphic feel. Its sharp serifs and controlled contrast aim to provide an elegant, authoritative voice for editorial and literary typography.
Letterforms favor graceful movement over rigidity: rounded characters (like C, O, and Q) are generously open, while diagonals and terminals stay taut and precise. The italic construction is evident across both cases, giving lines of text a continuous, forward-driven texture without becoming overly ornate.
