This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered entry and exit strokes and finely bracketed serifs. Letterforms show a calligraphic rhythm: stress is strongly diagonal, curves are smooth and tight, and terminals often finish in pointed or gently hooked shapes. Uppercase forms are slightly narrow with elegant proportions, while lowercase features a conventional italic structure with single-storey forms and lively descenders; spacing appears moderately open, supporting continuous text while retaining a delicate, crisp color.
Well-suited for editorial settings where an elegant italic is needed, such as book interiors, magazine features, and pull quotes. It can also serve refined display roles in invitations, certificates, and premium packaging, especially where a classic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and formal correspondence. Its pronounced slant and sharp detailing add a sense of motion and sophistication, giving the text a refined, cultivated voice.
The design appears intended as a traditional, high-contrast italic for continuous reading and sophisticated emphasis, balancing crisp hairlines with sturdy stems for a polished, conventional text presence.
Figures appear italicized to match the text, with noticeable stroke modulation and slender horizontals. Some letters show distinctive italic flourishes (notably in terminals and diagonals), creating a slightly expressive texture without becoming decorative.
