A refined italic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, tapered hairlines. Serifs are delicate and bracketed, with a sharp, engraved-like finish that keeps terminals clean at display sizes. The italics lean is moderate and consistent, and the rhythm feels smooth and text-oriented, with open counters and careful spacing that avoids looking compressed. Uppercase forms read formal and restrained, while lowercase shapes show gentle calligraphic movement and slightly varied widths that add a natural, bookish texture.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and sophisticated long-form text where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or captions. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and invitations that benefit from a formal, cultivated serif italic with sharp contrast.
The font conveys a poised, traditional tone associated with literature and editorial publishing. Its high-contrast italic voice feels polished and expressive without becoming flamboyant, suggesting sophistication, ceremony, and quiet authority.

Figures are classic and readable, with old-style flavor in their proportions and a calm baseline presence. The overall color on the page stays light and airy, favoring clarity and elegance over heaviness or impact.
