A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and clean, bracketed serifs. The forms show a consistent forward slant and a lively, calligraphic rhythm, with teardrop-like terminals and finely pointed joins. Uppercase shapes feel stately and slightly narrow in presence, while lowercase letters are fluid and compact with clear counters and a measured x-height. Numerals follow the same italic stress and contrast, producing an overall crisp, polished texture in lines of text.
Well suited for editorial typography such as magazine features, book interior emphasis, pull quotes, and refined headings where an italic voice is needed. It can also serve formal materials like invitations or programs, particularly at moderate to larger sizes where its contrast and detailing read cleanly.
The font conveys a classic, cultivated tone—suited to traditional publishing and formal communication. Its italic movement adds elegance and emphasis, suggesting sophistication rather than casualness.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with a refined, print-oriented feel, balancing traditional letterforms with crisp contrast for a clear, elegant typographic voice.
In continuous text the strong contrast and pointed detailing create a sparkling, high-definition texture, especially at larger sizes. The italic construction remains disciplined and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing an editorial, bookish character.
