This italic serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp hairlines and tapered, bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with a consistent rightward slant and a lively baseline rhythm. Uppercase forms are narrow and poised, while the lowercase is more fluid with long, descending tails and delicate entry/exit strokes. Numerals and capitals echo the same high-contrast structure, producing a crisp texture that stays airy even at larger sizes.
Well-suited for editorial settings such as magazines, books, and essays where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotes, or section breaks. It can also serve effectively in refined display roles—titles, pull quotes, and formal printed pieces—where high contrast and elegant italics are desirable.
The overall tone is cultured and refined, evoking bookish sophistication and traditional editorial typography. Its italic voice feels expressive without becoming decorative, lending a sense of ceremony and polish to headlines and emphasized text.
The font appears designed as a traditional, high-contrast italic serif that prioritizes elegance and readability in continuous text while retaining enough flourish for tasteful display use. Its consistent calligraphic cues suggest an intention to provide a classic italic companion for formal, literary typography.
The design balances sharp terminals with rounded bowls, creating a clean, controlled sparkle on the page. Letterforms maintain a steady cadence in running text, with distinctive italic details (such as looped descenders and flowing joins) that read as intentionally classical rather than modernist.
