This is a high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and fuller curved strokes, producing a crisp, engraved color on the page. Serifs are small and bracketed, with a gently calligraphic construction that shows in the tapered terminals and flowing joins. The italic angle is moderate and consistent, with smooth, rounded bowls and a rhythmic, forward motion across lines. Proportions feel traditional: capitals are stately and slightly narrow, while lowercase forms remain open and readable, with ascenders that add elegance without becoming spindly. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and curve logic, integrating naturally with text settings.
Well-suited for long-form editorial and book work where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or titling. It also fits magazines, cultural branding, and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs, where its refined contrast can provide a premium tone.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, evoking book typography, editorial refinement, and a sense of tradition. Its sharp contrast and poised italic stance communicate sophistication and a slightly ceremonial feel rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literature-oriented italic serif that prioritizes tradition, rhythm, and polish. It aims to deliver an expressive yet disciplined italic voice that can carry both continuous reading and display moments with the same cohesive character.
At larger sizes the delicate hairlines and crisp serifs read as particularly polished, while the lively italic rhythm helps paragraphs feel fluid and continuous. The design’s contrast and tapering details become a key part of its personality, giving emphasis and texture to headings or emphasized text.
