A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant, crisp hairlines, and tapered, calligraphic stroke endings. Serifs are bracketed and finely cut, with sharp terminals and a lively diagonal stress that shows clearly in rounds like C/O and in the flowing lowercase. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented, with moderate ascenders/descenders and a slightly compact, rhythmic lowercase; numerals follow the same contrasty, elegant logic with thin joins and sturdy main strokes.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography as an italic companion for emphasis, quotations, or chapter-level texture. It also works effectively for magazine features, cultural programs, and formal invitations where a traditional, refined italic voice is desired.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and formal without feeling stiff. Its energetic italic movement and sparkling hairlines add sophistication and a distinctly editorial flavor, suited to refined, traditional typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic that brings calligraphic elegance and clear typographic hierarchy to reading environments. Its high contrast and bracketed detailing aim for a cultivated, print-classic impression while maintaining consistent rhythm in paragraphs.
Caps read dignified and steady while the lowercase provides most of the motion, producing a clear hierarchy in mixed-case settings. The contrast is noticeable in both letters and figures, so it rewards generous size and good printing or screen rendering where the hairlines can stay crisp.
