A slanted serif with crisp, tapered stroke endings and subtly flared terminals that give the letterforms a sharpened, calligraphic edge. Strokes show clear modulation, with thin hairlines and stronger diagonals, and the overall rhythm is smooth and slightly forward-leaning. Serifs are fine and pointed, often bracketed into the stems, producing a clean, elegant silhouette. Proportions are moderately compact with open counters, and the figures follow the same italicized, tapered logic for a cohesive texture in text.
Works well for editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine settings where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also suits headlines, pull quotes, and refined promotional materials such as invitations or cultural event collateral, especially at medium to large sizes where the tapered details remain clear.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone with a refined, slightly dramatic italic flavor. Its sharp terminals and controlled contrast read as formal and cultivated, suggesting tradition without feeling overly ornate. The overall impression is poised and editorial, suited to sophisticated typography rather than casual UI copy.
Likely designed to provide a polished italic companion with sharp, flared finishing and traditional serif structure, balancing readability with a distinctly elegant, calligraphy-informed character. The consistent tapering across letters and numerals suggests a focus on cohesive text texture and expressive emphasis in editorial use.
The italic construction is pronounced, with energetic diagonals (notably in v/w/x/y) and narrow, pointed joins that create a lively sparkle at larger sizes. Capitals appear slightly more stately and spacious than the lowercase, helping with emphasis in titles while maintaining an even typographic color in running text.
