A delicate, high-contrast italic serif with hairline connections and sharp, tapered terminals. The letterforms show a pronounced diagonal stress, with thin entry strokes and fuller swelling on curves, giving an engraved, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are fine and pointed rather than blocky, and many strokes end in wedge-like cuts that keep the texture crisp even at larger sizes. Proportions feel traditional, with compact counters and a smooth, flowing baseline that emphasizes slant and movement over rigidity.
Works best for editorial typography, book or magazine settings, and refined branding where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or style. It also suits invitations, programs, and formal announcements, as well as pull quotes and display sizes where the contrast and tapering can be appreciated. In continuous small text, it will read most comfortably with generous size and spacing to preserve the hairline details.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, reading as editorial and classically formal. Its airy contrast and italic motion evoke luxury and ceremony, while remaining restrained enough for sophisticated text settings. It feels suited to contexts where elegance and a touch of drama are desired without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic with an elevated, high-contrast finish—balancing classical proportions with a sharper, more fashion-forward crispness. It aims to provide a graceful italic texture for sophisticated composition, from literary work to upscale communications.
Capitals have a stately presence with clean triangular feet and restrained detailing, while lowercase forms lean more calligraphic, especially in the curved letters and the looped bowl shapes. Numerals appear similarly refined, mixing straight, chiseled strokes with graceful curves for a cohesive, old-world text color.
