A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a steady rightward slant and a rhythmic, calligraphic construction, with tapered terminals and gently flared strokes that give counters a refined, open feel. Proportions run slightly expansive, and the spacing reads even in text, with clear word shapes driven by strong diagonals and distinctive entry/exit strokes.
This face is well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and long-form essays where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, subheads, or quotations. It also works effectively for formal print pieces like invitations and programs, and for branding that calls for a classic, refined serif presence.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, with an old-world elegance that feels suited to serious reading and polished presentation. Its lively italic movement adds sophistication and a hint of drama without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a pronounced, elegant stroke contrast. It aims to provide a polished, traditional typographic color and a confident italic cadence for both continuous text and prominent emphasis.
Capitals have stately proportions and sharp, clean serifs, while lowercase forms maintain a consistent italic flow with expressive joins. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, appearing text-friendly and integrated with the alphabet rather than purely display-oriented.
