This is a high-contrast italic serif with crisp, tapering terminals and finely bracketed serifs. Strokes show a clear broad-nib logic: thin hairlines, stronger diagonals, and smooth swelling through curves, producing a lively, right-leaning rhythm. Capitals are narrow and sharp with poised, angled finishing strokes, while lowercase forms are compact and flowing with a single-storey “a” and “g,” a long, slightly descending “f,” and a pronounced, looped “j.” Numerals follow the same italic construction, with open, rounded forms and delicate entry/exit strokes that keep figures light and expressive.
Well suited to editorial typography such as pull quotes, intros, and refined headlines, as well as book titling where a classic italic voice is desired. It can also serve elevated branding, invitations, and packaging accents, especially where an elegant, traditional tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with an unmistakably literary voice. Its steep italic angle and bright hairlines create a sense of motion and sophistication—more elegant than casual—suggesting cultured, formal communication.
The font appears intended to provide a classic, high-contrast italic for conventional text settings and display accents, emphasizing grace, motion, and a calligraphic serif finish while maintaining a disciplined, readable structure.
The design reads best when allowed some air: the thin joins and hairline serifs contribute to a sparkling texture, while the italic rhythm gives words a continuous, slanted flow. Uppercase shapes feel particularly display-ready due to their sharp diagonals and crisp terminals.
