A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with tapered entry/exit strokes and sharp, knife-like terminals, especially in letters such as A, K, V, W, and X. The italic slant is consistent and moderately steep, with compact, slightly narrow-looking proportions and a lively rhythm driven by curved joins and angled cross strokes. Lowercase forms are traditional and text-oriented, with a single-storey g, a gently slanted e, and a flowing f; numerals follow the same contrasty, italicized model with fine hairlines and pronounced curves.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazines where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or headings. It can also work for refined invitations, cultural programs, and brand collateral that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif with a traditional, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking classic book typography and editorial sophistication. Its bright hairlines and sculpted serifs lend a sense of formality and craft, while the energetic italic motion adds drama and emphasis without becoming flamboyant.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances legibility with an elevated, classical finish. Its controlled proportions and consistent contrast suggest a focus on producing a polished reading texture while providing a distinctly elegant italic flavor for emphasis and sophisticated display.
The texture in paragraphs reads as crisp and rhythmic, with clear word shapes and a slightly sparkling appearance from the hairlines. Capitals feel stately and well-controlled, while the lowercase introduces more movement through curved bowls and tapered strokes, making it especially suited to emphasized text and elegant display settings.
