This is a slanted, high-contrast serif with a crisp, calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation and an angled stress, with narrow hairlines and sturdier verticals. Serifs are small and wedge-like with gentle bracketing, and many terminals finish in sharp, slightly hooked points that reinforce the italic movement. Proportions feel moderately narrow with varied letter widths and lively sidebearings, giving words an elegant, slightly airy rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic slant, with open, classical curves and fine joining strokes.
It suits editorial typography where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, leads, pull quotes, or refined long-form reading. It can also work for classic branding and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs, especially at sizes where the hairlines remain comfortable.
The overall tone is refined and literary, projecting a traditional, cultured voice with a touch of drama from the sharp hairlines and pronounced slant. It feels formal and editorial rather than casual, suggesting sophistication and careful typesetting.
The design appears intended as a conventional, bookish italic serif that adds polish and movement without becoming ornamental. Its high contrast and sharp detailing aim to deliver a sophisticated, traditional voice for text and display accents.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals and lowercase, and the design maintains strong clarity despite the thin hairlines. Capitals are dignified and open, while the lowercase has a fluid, handwritten flavor that keeps long passages from looking rigid.
