A serif italic with a steady, moderately modulated stroke and crisp bracketed serifs that often flare into beak-like terminals. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward inclination and a slightly calligraphic construction, with tapered joins and subtly swelling curves that give the text a lively rhythm. Proportions feel traditional, with open counters and clear figure shapes; the caps are compact and sturdy while the lowercase maintains an even, readable texture in continuous setting.
Works well for editorial typography—book interiors, magazines, and cultured headlines—where an italic voice is needed without losing clarity. It also suits formal collateral such as invitations, programs, or brand statements that benefit from a traditional serif italic with expressive terminals.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, suggesting editorial polish rather than overt display. Its italic energy reads as literary and expressive, with a refined, slightly old-world flavor that feels appropriate for formal or heritage-leaning typography.
The font appears designed to provide a classic serif italic with a touch of decorative sharpness—balancing readability with a distinctive, sculpted finish. Its construction emphasizes elegant motion and a polished page texture, making it a credible companion for refined, text-forward design.
The design leans on sharp, sculpted terminals and well-defined serif transitions to create sparkle at larger sizes while keeping a consistent text color. Numerals follow the same inclined, serifed logic and sit comfortably alongside the letters for mixed text-and-number settings.
