A refined italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapering hairlines. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, showing diagonal stress in rounded shapes and lively entry/exit strokes. Serifs are delicate and mostly bracketed, often resolving into pointed terminals that stay crisp at the ends of strokes. Proportions feel traditional with moderate ascenders and descenders, and the overall texture is airy and controlled rather than dense.
Well-suited to editorial and book typography where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, and titling. It also fits formal invitations and refined branding applications that benefit from high-contrast sophistication, particularly at moderate to large sizes.
The font reads as polished and literary, projecting a sense of tradition and formality without feeling stiff. Its high-contrast italic posture adds a cultured, expressive tone suited to premium editorial typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic flavor, balancing classical proportions with crisp contrast to deliver an upscale, readable texture for continuous text and elegant display moments.
Capitals are stately and restrained, while the lowercase carries more motion through curved terminals and subtle hooks. Numerals maintain the same contrast and italic flow, with conspicuous curves and fine finishing strokes that match the text color.
