A high-contrast italic serif with sharply defined thick–thin transitions and a clear rightward slant. Serifs are small and bracketed, often resolving into pointed, wedge-like terminals that give the strokes a crisp finish. The capitals feel slightly expansive and sculpted, while the lowercase shows a calligraphic rhythm with flowing joins and tapered exits; ascenders are prominent and counters remain open despite the contrast. Numerals follow the same italic logic, mixing straight stems with curved bowls and angled terminals for a cohesive text color.
Well suited to long-form reading contexts such as books and editorial layouts where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductions. It also performs confidently in magazine features and refined titling, and can lend a formal, traditional tone to programs, invitations, and other print-forward materials.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a traditional, bookish presence that reads as cultivated rather than decorative. Its italic voice feels expressive and formal, suggesting classic publishing and polished editorial typography.
Likely designed as a conventional, high-contrast italic companion for text typography, prioritizing a classic reading rhythm with crisp, well-articulated serifs and a calligraphic flow. The design balances refinement with clarity, aiming for an authoritative italic voice that remains usable across a range of sizes.
In paragraph setting the face maintains a lively, diagonal cadence; the strong contrast and pointed terminals add sparkle and definition, especially in larger sizes. The italic construction is consistent across letters and figures, producing a coherent texture from headings through continuous text.
