A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. Stems are robust while hairlines are very fine, producing crisp joins and sharp, delicate serifs with minimal bracketing. The italic angle is consistent and smooth, with narrow apertures and tapered terminals that add a sleek, drawn quality. Proportions feel classical and text-oriented, with moderate ascenders/descenders and a steady rhythm across the alphabet and figures.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a refined italic voice is needed—feature openers, pull quotes, captions, and book typography. It can also serve elegantly in invitations, formal correspondence, and premium branding accents, particularly at sizes where the fine hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and bookish, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than casual warmth. Its sleek contrast and disciplined slant communicate tradition, ceremony, and a sense of premium refinement.
Likely intended as a classic, high-contrast italic for sophisticated typography—providing an expressive, traditional emphasis style with a luxurious, fashion/editorial sensibility.
Capitals read as stately and slightly narrow, while lowercase forms keep a fluid, continuous motion typical of formal italics. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine entry/exit strokes that maintain a cohesive texture in running text.
