A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs that read as crisp and precise. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with a steady rightward slant, giving lines a rhythmic, forward motion. Capitals are sleek and slightly narrow with clean entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms are compact with a moderate x-height and lively, calligraphic joins. Numerals are slanted and similarly high-contrast, with open counters and delicate finishing strokes that keep the overall color light and airy.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits formal invitations, packaging, and refined branding applications, especially at text-to-display sizes where the contrast and tapered detailing can be appreciated.
The tone is polished and literary, with a distinctly traditional, old-world elegance. Its sharp contrast and poised italic movement suggest formality and sophistication, more suited to cultured or editorial settings than casual everyday voice.
Likely intended as a classic italic companion for conventional serif text typography, providing an expressive yet disciplined slanted style. The design emphasizes traditional refinement—high contrast, crisp serifs, and a smooth reading rhythm—aimed at elevated, print-oriented composition.
The design maintains consistent stroke logic across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with pronounced tapering on diagonals and curved strokes that emphasizes an engraved, pen-informed feel. Spacing appears even in text, creating a smooth, continuous texture while retaining sparkle from the contrast and fine serifs.
