This is a high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and clear diagonal stress. Serifs are bracketed and knife-like, with pointed terminals and thin, hairline connections that create a crisp, sparkling texture. The italic construction is pronounced, with strong forward lean, narrow entry/exit strokes, and a lively rhythm that varies in apparent width as curves and diagonals open and close. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly condensed in stance, while lowercase shows elegant, flowing joins and compact counters typical of text italics.
Well-suited for book typography and long-form editorial work where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, captions, or referenced terms. It can also serve effectively in refined subheads and pull quotes, especially in print or high-resolution digital contexts where hairlines reproduce cleanly.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying refinement and formality. Its bright contrast and energetic italic movement suggest sophistication and a slightly dramatic, editorial flair rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended as a traditional text italic with elevated contrast and a calligraphic edge, offering a distinguished, expressive companion for reading-oriented typography while maintaining disciplined serif construction.
The numerals share the same sharp contrast and italic slant, with graceful curves and fine hairline details that reinforce a cohesive text companion. In continuous setting the texture remains crisp and articulate, with notable sparkle from the thin strokes and pointed terminals.
