A slanted serif design with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp hairline detailing. Serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with smooth entry and exit strokes that give the outlines a calligraphic flow. Capitals feel broad and formal with elegant diagonals and pointed terminals, while the lowercase is compact and rhythmically consistent, relying on slender stems and curved joins. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic slant, reading as traditional and text-oriented rather than geometric.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis or extended passages. It also fits refined invitations, cultural programs, and literary titling, particularly when set at medium to large sizes where the hairlines and tapered serifs can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting traditional book culture and editorial sophistication. Its sharp contrast and lively italic movement convey elegance and a sense of cultivated formality, with a slightly dramatic, fashion-adjacent sheen in larger settings.
Likely drawn to provide a classic, text-serif italic with a refined, calligraphic sensibility—aimed at conveying tradition and polish while maintaining enough energy for expressive emphasis in running text.
In the text sample the italic angle and high contrast create strong directional rhythm, with delicate thin strokes that can visually recede at smaller sizes or on low-resolution output. The spacing appears measured and even, supporting continuous reading while still keeping a distinctly stylized, expressive italic character.
