A refined italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, sharpened terminals. The letterforms lean decisively forward with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, combining bracketed serifs with wedge-like entry and exit strokes that stay crisp rather than ornamental. Counters are moderately open and the proportions feel bookish, with capitals showing restrained flare and lowercase showing flowing joins and confident curves; the overall texture is bright and airy while maintaining clear stroke hierarchy.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and feature text where an italic voice is needed for emphasis with finesse. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and branding applications that benefit from a classic, polished serif italic.
The tone is elegant and cultured, with an editorial polish that suggests tradition and craft. Its slanted, high-contrast drawing adds a sense of motion and sophistication, leaning more literary and refined than casual or utilitarian.
Likely designed as a sophisticated text-and-display italic that balances classic serif conventions with a lively, calligraphic slant. The intent appears to be delivering elegant emphasis and refined hierarchy while keeping a clean, consistent texture in running settings.
Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with graceful curves and slender horizontals that read as delicate at smaller sizes. The rhythm across words is smooth and consistent, producing a distinctly italic “hand” without becoming overly decorative.
