A delicately drawn italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, tapered entry and exit strokes. The serifs are fine and bracketed, often resolving into sharp wedge-like terminals that reinforce a crisp, calligraphic rhythm. Capitals are slightly restrained and slanted with flowing curves and thin hairlines, while the lowercase shows compact, smoothly joined forms and a steady baseline with occasional sweeping descenders. Figures follow the same italic energy, with angled stress and slender finishing strokes that keep the overall texture airy and precise.
Well suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also fits refined branding, packaging, and invitation work, especially in settings that benefit from a classic, high-end feel.
The overall tone feels polished and cultivated, with a distinctly literary and editorial character. Its lively slant and sharp hairlines convey sophistication and a sense of tradition, reading as formal without becoming heavy or rigid.
Likely designed as a dedicated italic for conventional text settings, aiming to deliver a graceful, high-contrast companion style with strong calligraphic cues and a refined page color.
Spacing appears moderately open for an italic, helping counters stay clear despite the high contrast. The italic construction is consistent across letters and numerals, producing a continuous, slightly cursive flow that favors elegance over neutrality.
