A high-contrast italic serif with sweeping, calligraphic construction and pronounced diagonal stress. Strokes move from very thin hairlines to strong main stems, with crisp, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that often finish in pointed or subtly hooked ends. The overall rhythm is lively and forward-leaning, with open counters and a slightly variable, handwritten-feeling spacing that keeps long text from looking rigid.
This face performs best where an expressive italic serif is desired: editorial typography, book and magazine work, pull quotes, and headings that need a polished, classical voice. It can also suit formal invitations and premium branding when used with generous spacing and thoughtful hierarchy.
The font conveys a cultivated, traditional tone—expressive and elegant rather than neutral. Its italic energy reads as literary and editorial, suggesting sophistication and a touch of drama suitable for refined messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional text-serif texture in an italic voice that remains readable while emphasizing grace and movement. It balances crisp detailing with smooth, calligraphic flow to create a refined typographic color in both short and extended passages.
Capitals show a strong, classical italic presence with graceful curves and sharp join transitions, while the lowercase maintains readability through clear apertures and steady baseline behavior. Numerals follow the same contrast and slanted cadence, visually integrating well with text and display settings.
