This is a high-contrast italic serif with thin hairlines and fuller diagonal/vertical strokes, producing a crisp, shimmering texture. Serifs are fine and gently bracketed, with tapered terminals and a subtly calligraphic modulation that’s especially evident in the lowercase. The capitals feel stately and open, with generous counters and smooth curves, while the lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes, single-storey forms, and a slightly varied rhythm that keeps lines from looking mechanical. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with graceful curves and delicate finishing strokes.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine design where an expressive italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or quoted material. It also performs nicely in refined display settings—titles, chapter openers, and elegant branding lines—where its high-contrast details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting classic book typography and cultured editorial design. Its italic energy reads expressive but controlled—more poetic than casual—adding a sense of ceremony and sophistication to headlines and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, bookish italic with elevated contrast and graceful calligraphic inflection, balancing formal capitals with a more fluid, expressive lowercase for sophisticated emphasis and display use.
In running text the contrast and fine details create a light, airy color, while the pronounced italic angle helps guide the eye along the line. The combination of sharp hairlines and elegant curves favors clean reproduction and comfortable letterspacing, especially at display and subhead sizes.
