A high-contrast italic serif with narrow hairlines and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. The serifs are finely bracketed and tapered, with sharp terminals and a clean, polished edge quality. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows a flowing italic construction with compact, rhythmic counters and a gently forward slant. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and refined detailing, maintaining a consistent texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and any setting where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can work effectively for pull quotes, subheads, and refined titles, and also fits formal printed materials such as invitations or programs where a traditional, cultivated tone is desired.
The overall tone is sophisticated and literary, evoking traditional book typography and formal editorial settings. Its crisp contrast and poised italic movement convey a sense of refinement and ceremony rather than casualness.
Designed to provide a classic, high-contrast italic for conventional reading and display contexts, emphasizing refined detailing and a smooth typographic rhythm. The intent appears to balance traditional serif formality with a lively italic flow for expressive emphasis within text.
In longer lines the font produces a lively, sparkling rhythm from the fine hairlines and pointed joins, giving text a distinctly classic italic color. The italic angle is noticeable but controlled, keeping word shapes cohesive while still feeling expressive.
