A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairlines and fuller main strokes, showing a pronounced calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with wedge-like terminals on several forms and clear diagonal stress in rounded letters. The slant is consistent and fairly strong, with narrow internal apertures and compact counters that keep the texture tight in running text. Capitals feel poised and slightly wide in stance for an italic, while the lowercase is lively, with sweeping entry/exit strokes and clearly differentiated, slightly variable character widths.
This design is well-suited to editorial settings where an italic voice is needed—chapter openers, pull quotes, subheads, and refined headlines. Its contrast and tapered details make it particularly effective in print-oriented compositions, formal announcements, and branding that benefits from a classic, literary tone.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking bookish sophistication and editorial gravitas. Its crisp contrast and flowing italic motion suggest ceremony and emphasis rather than casual reading, giving it a confident, cultivated presence.
The font appears designed as a conventional, high-contrast italic serif meant to deliver a cultured, emphatic voice with strong typographic tradition. It prioritizes graceful movement, crisp detailing, and a tight, refined text color for elegant composition.
Figures are italic and oldstyle-leaning in feel, with noticeable stroke modulation and curved shaping that harmonizes with the lowercase. The font maintains a consistent baseline rhythm and a sharp, clean finish at terminals, which reads especially well at display sizes and in emphasized passages.
