A delicate serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals. The serifs are small and bracketed, with hairline connections and an overall crisp texture that stays airy even at larger sizes. Letterforms are gently slanted with calligraphic curves, narrow joins, and fluid entry/exit strokes; counters remain open and the rhythm is even, producing a clean, bookish page color. Figures follow the same italic stress and contrast, with slender stems and refined curves.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors (as an italic companion for emphasis), and refined headings. It also fits formal printed pieces—programs, invitations, certificates—where a graceful, traditional italic voice is desired, and it can add a premium accent in branding when used at display sizes.
The font projects a polished, cultivated tone—quietly luxurious rather than flashy. Its italic movement and high-contrast detailing evoke editorial sophistication and traditional literary refinement, making it feel appropriate for elevated, formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic that emphasizes elegance and legibility through disciplined proportions, clear counters, and controlled calligraphic contrast. It aims to provide a refined italic voice for emphasis and display, while maintaining a consistent, readable rhythm in continuous text.
Uppercase forms read stately and composed while the lowercase shows more written character, especially in the curved terminals and the lively shapes of letters like g, j, and y. The overall spacing appears comfortable and the stroke endings stay consistently sharp, reinforcing a precise, engraved-like finish.
