A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and fuller main strokes, showing a consistent diagonal stress and crisp, bracketed serifs. The italic slant is pronounced and fluid, with tapered terminals and gently cupped finishing strokes that add a calligraphic feel without becoming overly decorative. Proportions are traditional and text-oriented, with moderate ascenders and descenders and a steady, even rhythm in running lines. Numerals and capitals maintain the same polished contrast and sharpness, giving the set a cohesive, print-like texture.
Well-suited for editorial and long-form contexts where a traditional italic is needed, such as book typography, magazine features, and literary layouts. It also works effectively for formal supporting text, pull quotes, or refined invitations where an elegant italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an elegant, cultivated voice suited to refined typography. Its strong italic movement and crisp contrast convey formality and sophistication, leaning more toward traditional publishing than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif italic that emphasizes graceful motion and typographic polish. Its measured proportions and consistent modulation suggest a focus on readability and classic page texture rather than display eccentricity.
In the sample text, the font forms a smooth, continuous italic flow with clear word shapes and pronounced stroke modulation that creates a lively page color. The capitals carry a dignified presence while staying compatible with continuous text, and the figures match the style with similarly tapered, high-contrast construction.
