A high-contrast italic serif with thin hairlines and tapered, calligraphic joins. The serifs are small and sharply finished with a lightly bracketed feel, while curves and diagonals show a consistent oblique slant and lively modulation. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow with crisp terminals, and the lowercase uses compact, rhythmic forms with angled stress and gently flowing counters. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast construction, reading clearly with refined, delicate detailing.
Well suited to editorial design, pull quotes, headlines, and book or magazine typography where a refined italic voice is needed. It can also serve upscale invitations, cultural programs, and brand applications that benefit from a classic serif italic with visible contrast.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial sophistication. Its steep italic angle and crisp hairlines lend a sense of motion and formality, while the sculpted serifs keep it poised and upscale.
Likely designed to provide a traditional, high-contrast italic for conventional serif typography, emphasizing elegance and legibility while retaining a distinctly calligraphic, slanted rhythm for emphasis and tone.
Stroke modulation is pronounced, so fine details become a prominent part of the texture at display sizes; the face reads best where its hairlines and sharp terminals can remain intact. The italic rhythm is continuous across letters and figures, giving paragraphs a smooth, slightly animated flow.
