A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapering terminals. Strokes show clear calligraphic modulation and diagonal stress, with thin hairlines and sharper joins balanced by sturdy stems. Serifs are bracketed and finely cut, giving the letterforms a polished, traditional texture. Proportions feel moderately compact with consistent rhythm, while the italic construction adds lively movement across words and lines.
This font suits long-form editorial typography where italic emphasis is frequent, such as book interiors, magazines, and essays. It also works well for pull quotes, forewords, captions, and formal collateral where a traditional, elegant italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and cultivated, with a distinctly bookish, old-world warmth. Its flowing italics read as formal and expressive rather than casual, suggesting refinement and quiet authority.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with heightened contrast and calligraphic nuance, built to deliver a classic reading texture while providing expressive emphasis in continuous text.
The italics are assertive—particularly in the lowercases—creating strong word shapes and a continuous, cursive-like flow without becoming script. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, keeping text and figures visually cohesive in running copy.
