A sharply tapered italic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and clean, pointed terminals. Serifs are small and bracketed, with delicate hairlines and firmer main strokes that create a bright, airy texture. The italic construction shows flowing entry/exit strokes and a forward slant, while proportions feel somewhat compact in the lowercase, giving the text a poised, vertical rhythm despite the slant. Capitals are stately and open, and numerals share the same calligraphic contrast and brisk finishing strokes.
Works well for editorial typography, book interiors, and literary or academic material where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis. It also fits formal invitations, certificates, and refined branding applications that benefit from a classical serif voice.
The overall tone is refined and bookish, with a classical, slightly calligraphic elegance. It reads as formal and cultured rather than casual, suited to designs that want a traditional voice with a lively italic movement.
Likely designed to provide a conventional text-serif italic with heightened calligraphic contrast, offering a sophisticated companion for long-form reading and typographic emphasis while maintaining a traditional, restrained appearance.
In text, the strong contrast and fine joins produce a sparkling page color, especially in rounded and diagonally stressed letters. The italic forms show clear cursive influence without becoming overly decorative, keeping the letterforms disciplined and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
