This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a noticeably calligraphic construction and a steady rightward slant. Strokes show an angled stress with thick verticals and hairline connectors, and serifs are finely bracketed, often resolving into sharp, slightly hooked terminals. Curves are smooth and open, with moderate proportions and a normal x-height; ascenders are relatively tall and lively, contributing to an elegant vertical rhythm. Overall spacing feels even and text-forward, while individual forms retain the crispness and delicacy typical of a classical italic.
Well suited for book interiors, long-form editorial typography, and magazine features where a classic italic voice is desired. It also works effectively for pull quotes, introductions, and other emphasis settings, as well as formal collateral like invitations and announcements when paired with a compatible roman.
The tone is refined and literary, evoking traditional book typography and cultured editorial design. Its sharp hairlines and poised slant communicate sophistication and a sense of formality, while the fluid construction adds warmth and motion.
The design intention appears to be a conventional, text-oriented italic serif that balances classical calligraphic cues with consistent, contemporary spacing for smooth reading. It aims to provide an elegant companion style for emphasis and display within traditional typographic systems.
Figures follow the same italic, high-contrast logic as the letters, reading as formal and slightly old-style in feel rather than geometric. The italic is assertive enough for emphasis and titling, but the thin hairlines suggest it will look best with adequate size, good printing, or high-resolution rendering.
