This is a high-contrast italic serif with a calligraphic, right-leaning construction and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes taper into fine hairlines with pronounced thick–thin transitions, producing a polished, engraved look in curves and diagonals. Capitals are narrow and poised with pointed terminals and controlled flare, while the lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes, a single-storey italic “a,” and generally compact, slanted forms. Numerals follow the same steep italic axis and contrast, with delicate joins and slender terminals that keep the overall color light and refined.
It performs well as an italic companion in editorial and book typography, especially for emphasis, titles, and pull quotes. The refined contrast and sharp finishing also suit formal printed materials such as invitations, programs, and luxury-leaning brand collateral when set at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is cultured and expressive, leaning toward traditional bookish elegance rather than modern minimalism. Its sharp italics and bright hairlines convey sophistication and a slightly dramatic, editorial voice suited to quoted or emphasized text.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, humanist italic voice with pronounced contrast and a smooth reading cadence. It prioritizes elegance and expressive motion, providing a traditional serif italic suitable for polished text and display roles.
At text sizes, the rhythm reads smooth and continuous, with a consistent slant and relatively tight, streamlined letterforms that help lines flow. The strongest visual personality comes from the pointed terminals, thin cross-strokes, and graceful curvature, which together favor clarity in display and short passages over rugged, utilitarian settings.
