This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal stress and crisp, tapered entry and exit strokes. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with a calligraphic feel that shows in the thin hairlines and the slightly swelling main strokes. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow with generous internal space, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with moderate ascenders and descenders and a smoothly slanted axis. Numerals follow the same italic modulation, mixing sturdy stems with fine terminals and a gently flowing, handwritten cadence.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or refined headlines. It can also serve formal invitations, packaging, and brand systems that want a classic, sophisticated serif italic with clear contrast and polish.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a classical, editorial voice. Its energetic slant and fine hairlines add sophistication and a sense of movement, evoking traditional book typography and formal correspondence rather than utilitarian interface text.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic with an elevated, classic character—prioritizing a graceful slant, traditional proportions, and high-contrast calligraphic detailing for refined text and display use.
In the text sample, spacing reads open and comfortable, and the italic forms show consistent stroke modulation across letters and figures. The sharp terminals and thin connecting strokes give it a crisp, engraved look, especially at larger sizes where the contrast becomes a defining feature.
