This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with sharply defined, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that suggest a calligraphic, pen-driven construction. Curves are smooth and oval, with a lively diagonal stress and consistent, elegant modulation from thick stems to hairline joins. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with moderately open counters and a steady, flowing rhythm; the capitals are stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows expressive italics with a single-storey a and g and clearly angled entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and slanted posture, reading cleanly in text while retaining a crafted feel.
It suits long-form editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine features where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis or a fully set italic composition. It also works well for formal communications—programs, invitations, and refined branding—where a classic, crafted serif tone supports a premium feel.
The overall tone is cultured and traditional, evoking classic print typography and literary or editorial settings. Its crisp contrast and graceful slant add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, with enough warmth to feel inviting rather than austere.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic serif with elevated contrast and calligraphic detailing, aiming to deliver a classic print texture and a refined, authoritative voice. Its shapes prioritize traditional proportions and smooth rhythm for comfortable reading while maintaining a distinctive, elegant flair.
In the text sample, the italic angle and stroke contrast create a pronounced texture, with strong emphasis on diagonal movement and lively joins. The design’s thin hairlines and delicate serifs give it a polished look that benefits from adequate size and spacing, especially in dense paragraphs or lower-resolution contexts.
