This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with finely tapered hairlines and sturdy verticals, producing a crisp, polished texture. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with a distinctly calligraphic flow in the italic construction—seen in the angled stress, sweeping entry strokes, and lively terminals. Proportions feel generously set, with open counters and a steady rhythm that remains readable in continuous text while retaining a dressy, display-ready sparkle. Uppercase forms are poised and slightly restrained, while lowercase shows more movement, especially in letters like a, f, g, and y, which feature pronounced curves and tapered descenders.
It performs well for editorial typography such as books, magazines, and long-form articles where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or a classic tone. The crisp contrast and elegant detailing also make it suitable for invitations, cultural branding, and refined packaging or identity work where a traditional serif impression is desired.
The overall tone is refined and literary, evoking traditional book typography and classic editorial styling. Its energetic italic slant and glossy contrast give it a formal, cultivated voice—more elegant than casual—well suited to conveying sophistication and emphasis.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, classical serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic edge—combining polished contrast and bracketed serifs to create an authoritative yet graceful reading experience.
The figures align stylistically with the text, with strong contrast and smooth curves that keep them from feeling mechanical. The sample paragraph shows a consistent color and clear word shapes, suggesting careful balancing between sharp hairlines and sturdier strokes for sustained reading.
