A crisp italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline serifs. The forms are compact and slightly condensed, with steeply angled stems and tapered terminals that create a lively, forward rhythm. Capitals feel sculpted and classical with restrained bracketed serifs, while the lowercase shows a more calligraphic flow, including single-story a and g, narrow counters, and energetic entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic logic, combining sharp diagonals and fine finishing strokes for a cohesive text color.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and essays where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, captions, or refined body copy. It can also serve in upscale branding and printed invitations where a classic, polished texture is desired, particularly at text to display sizes with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is cultured and poised, evoking editorial tradition and literary refinement. Its brisk italic movement reads expressive rather than casual, giving text a sense of sophistication and formality.
Likely designed as a traditional italic serif that balances classical proportions with a lively, calligraphic cadence, aiming for a polished reading texture and graceful emphasis in continuous text.
The design leans on slender horizontals and fine joins, so spacing and stroke contrast become especially noticeable at smaller sizes. Uppercase letterforms retain a dignified presence without becoming overly ornate, helping the face stay versatile within classic typography contexts.
