A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered entry/exit strokes and clearly bracketed serifs. The overall color is crisp and bright, with thin hairlines and heavier diagonals creating a lively rhythm. Letterforms lean forward with smooth, calligraphic modulation and slightly variable apparent widths across the set; curves are clean and tightly controlled, and terminals often finish in fine, pointed flicks. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, maintaining a cohesive text tone.
Well-suited to book interiors, magazine features, and other editorial settings where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis or continuous reading. It also fits refined titles, pull quotes, and formal collateral where a traditional, high-contrast voice reinforces a premium tone.
The face reads as classic and cultivated, with an editorial sophistication reminiscent of book typography and traditional print. Its pronounced contrast and forward motion give it a poised, expressive elegance suited to refined messaging rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with a strong calligraphic underpinning, aiming to provide an elegant companion style for long-form typography and formal editorial emphasis while preserving clarity and a polished page rhythm.
Round forms like O/Q show delicate hairlines and strong thick–thin transitions, while letters with diagonals (V, W, X, y) emphasize the italic energy. The lowercase includes a distinctly two-storey a and a compact, traditional text-serifs feel, supporting a consistent literary impression in paragraph samples.
