A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine, hairline serifs. The italic angle is steady and smooth, with stroke endings that taper crisply and create a polished, engraved feel. Uppercase forms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with sharp apexes and delicate finishing strokes, while lowercase shows a conventional x-height and lively rhythm from long ascenders and descenders. Curves are clean and controlled, and the numerals follow the same contrasty, slanted construction with thin entry/exit strokes and confident, calligraphic stress.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding where high contrast can shine. It also fits book and magazine typography—especially for emphasis, introductions, and display settings—while maintaining a traditional serif voice. For small sizes or low-resolution environments, its delicate hairlines suggest using generous sizes or careful production settings.
The overall tone is formal and sophisticated, suggesting luxury, literature, and high-end editorial design. Its bright hairlines and poised italic movement give it a cultured, classical voice rather than a casual or rustic one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif with a premium, high-contrast look, balancing traditional text forms with a more dramatic, display-friendly contrast and crisp finishing details.
At larger sizes the hairlines and serifs read as striking and crisp, emphasizing elegance and finesse. In continuous text the spacing and slant create a fluid, forward rhythm, with distinctive swash-like cues in select letters (notably the Q and some lowercase terminals) that add character without becoming ornate.
