A slender italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic, broad-nib-like logic: firm main diagonals, tapered terminals, and a lively entry/exit rhythm that keeps counters open despite the tight proportions. Capitals are narrow and upright in structure but strongly slanted, with sharp apexes and clean, bracketed finishing. Lowercase forms are compact with graceful curves and minimal width, producing a continuous, fast reading texture in words and a relatively tight overall fit.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or pull quotes. It can also work in formal stationery and refined branding contexts, especially at medium to larger sizes where the fine serifs and contrast can be appreciated.
The tone is polished and traditional, leaning toward bookish sophistication rather than display exuberance. Its steep italic motion and high-contrast detailing suggest formality and refinement, with a slightly dramatic, editorial flair.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, high-contrast italic companion for conventional text setting, prioritizing elegance and a fluent cursive rhythm. Its narrow proportions and tight spacing feel optimized for fitting comfortably in columns while maintaining a distinguished, traditional character.
Numerals follow the same italic calligraphy, with distinctive curves and tapered ends that keep them stylistically cohesive in running text. The overall color on the page is light and shimmering, with strong diagonal emphasis and a consistent, rhythmic cadence across letters.
