A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp hairlines. Serifs are finely bracketed, with tapered terminals and occasional teardrop/ball-like endings that add a calligraphic finish. The slant is steady and moderately steep, and the overall rhythm is lively, with slightly fluid widths and open counters that keep the texture from feeling rigid. Numerals read as oldstyle figures, with noticeable ascenders/descenders and elegant curves.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and literary or cultural branding where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or a refined headline. It can also serve formal materials such as invitations and certificates, particularly when set with generous spacing and comfortable sizes to protect the thin strokes.
The tone is traditional and cultured, leaning toward a bookish, editorial elegance rather than a modernist coolness. Its crisp hairlines and flowing italic shapes convey sophistication and formality, with a subtle handwritten inflection.
Likely designed to provide a classic, high-contrast italic companion with a distinctly calligraphic serif flavor, balancing readability with graceful motion. The shapes emphasize traditional proportions and elegant finishing details to deliver a polished, authoritative typographic voice.
Uppercase forms maintain a classic italic structure with clean, tapered strokes, while the lowercase shows more expressive entry/exit strokes and curled terminals (notably in letters like a, f, g, w, and y). The contrast and delicate details suggest best results where printing or rendering can preserve fine hairlines, especially at larger text sizes.
