A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines, tapered entry/exit strokes, and softly bracketed serifs. The forms show a consistent rightward slant and a calligraphic rhythm, with diagonal stress in round letters and crisp, pointed joins in diagonals like V, W, and X. Capitals are relatively narrow and elegant, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with long ascenders and descenders that add vertical grace. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with delicate terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation.
Well suited to editorial settings such as book interiors, magazine features, and long-form text where a classic italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also works effectively for refined display applications—pull quotes, titles, invitations, and premium packaging—where its high-contrast modulation and calligraphic flow can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and classical publishing. Its graceful slant and sharp, polished details give it a refined, slightly dramatic presence suited to expressive but disciplined typography.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, literary italic with a strong calligraphic pedigree—balancing readable text structure with elegant high-contrast detailing for emphasis and sophisticated tone-setting.
Stroke modulation is pronounced throughout, making the thinnest parts notably fine compared with the main stems; this emphasizes elegance but also increases sensitivity to size and reproduction conditions. The italic construction reads as purpose-drawn rather than mechanically slanted, with lively curves and varied terminal shapes that keep texture animated across lines.
