A high-contrast italic serif with clearly calligraphic construction and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with tapered diagonals and finely bracketed serifs that read sharp but not brittle. Capitals feel slightly wide and stately with generous internal space, while lowercase forms are more fluid, featuring a single-storey “a,” an open “e,” and a lively “g” with a prominent ear. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with curved forms and strong stress that keeps them visually aligned with text settings.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and other long-form settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or subheads. It also fits formal print applications such as invitations and programs, and can serve as an elegant display face at larger sizes where the contrast and curvature can be appreciated.
The font conveys a refined, bookish tone—polished and traditional, with a sense of ceremony. Its italic movement feels expressive without becoming informal, suggesting editorial sophistication and classical taste.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, readable italic with strong typographic tradition—balancing high-contrast elegance with dependable text rhythm for both continuous reading and refined display moments.
Overall spacing appears comfortable in running text, supporting a smooth diagonal flow typical of italic romans. The ampersand and the more flamboyant curves in letters like “Q,” “f,” and “y” add a touch of flourish while remaining within a conventional text-serif idiom.
