A high-contrast serif italic with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The serifs are small and bracketed, with a crisp, engraved feel and an overall rightward slant. Curves are smooth and tensioned, terminals are pointed or subtly teardropped, and the rhythm is lively due to narrow joins and energetic diagonals. The capitals feel stately and slightly condensed, while the lowercase shows fluid, cursive-like construction with compact counters and a gently varied advance width across glyphs.
Well suited to editorial settings such as book interiors, magazine features, and long-form text where a classic italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for formal pieces—dedications, invitations, and refined headlines—where its contrast and slant can carry an elegant emphasis.
The font conveys a polished, classical tone associated with book typography and formal correspondence. Its strong contrast and italic motion add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, reading as traditional rather than casual or technical.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes traditional proportions, strong calligraphic modulation, and a refined reading texture. Its details suggest a focus on elegance and typographic authority for literature and editorial typography.
In the sample text, the stroke contrast remains clear at larger sizes, producing crisp word shapes and a pronounced italic texture. Numerals appear old-style in spirit with angled stress and serifed forms, matching the overall calligraphic energy of the letters.
