This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a crisp, engraved-like finish. Strokes move between hairline thins and sturdy verticals, with bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that give letters a cut, precise look. The rhythm is lively and slightly calligraphic, with moderate x-height, open counters, and a varied italic construction (notably in the lowercase a, f, g, and y) that emphasizes fluid diagonals and elegant joins. Numerals and capitals maintain the same sharp contrast and formal posture, keeping a consistent, polished texture in lines of text.
Well-suited for editorial settings such as magazine features, book typography, and pull quotes where an elegant italic is needed. It also fits formal communication—programs, invitations, certificates—and can serve as an accent style in branding for wordmarks, taglines, and headings where a classic, refined tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and formal print. Its italic voice feels expressive yet controlled—more refined than casual—suggesting authority, ceremony, and editorial sophistication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-leaning italic serif that delivers a classic reading texture with heightened contrast and a graceful, calligraphic slant. It aims to provide a polished, authoritative voice for emphasis and display while remaining coherent in continuous text.
At display sizes the hairlines read especially delicate, while at text sizes the strong verticals and clear forms keep words recognizable. The slanted forms create momentum across a line, and the crisp serifs help anchor characters so the texture doesn’t become overly soft or brushy.
