A serif italic with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with a lively, slightly calligraphic construction that shows in the curved entries and exits and the delicate hairlines. Proportions are on the compact side with relatively tight set width, and the italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Several characters feature distinctive italic forms—looped and curled details on letters like J, Q, and g—adding animation without breaking the overall rhythm.
This style works well for editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other long-form contexts where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also suits invitations, certificates, and premium branding materials, and can perform strongly in headlines or pull quotes where its lively details and contrast can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking bookish sophistication and editorial restraint. Its high-contrast, slanted forms read as cultured and slightly dramatic, suited to expressive but still classic typography.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, high-contrast italic companion with a refined, literary feel—combining traditional serif structure with subtle calligraphic inflections for emphasis and graceful texture in text.
The numerals follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic, with clear differentiation between figures and a more ornamental feel in some curved forms. In text, the letterforms create a smooth forward motion; the finest hairlines may visually lighten at small sizes compared with the heavier main strokes.
