A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered hairlines set against fuller main strokes. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with many terminals finishing in teardrop or wedge-like forms that reinforce a calligraphic rhythm. Proportions are moderately narrow with lively, slightly varying letter widths, and the italic construction is apparent in the energetic joins and forward-leaning curves. Numerals and capitals show strong stroke modulation and a sculpted, editorial feel rather than geometric regularity.
Well-suited to editorial contexts such as magazine features, essays, and book typography where an italic voice is needed with clear authority and polish. It can also serve effectively in invitations, luxury branding, and display lines like headlines, pull quotes, or short passages where its contrast and flourish can be appreciated without becoming overly dense.
The overall tone is cultured and expressive, projecting a traditional, bookish elegance with a touch of flourish. Its contrast and italic movement suggest formality and sophistication, suitable for conveying heritage, luxury, or a refined narrative voice.
Likely intended as a classic italic serif for refined text and display, emphasizing calligraphic motion, strong contrast, and traditional serif detailing to deliver an elegant, authoritative tone.
The design maintains consistent contrast and slant across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive texture in paragraph settings. The lowercase has a smooth, cursive-like flow while the capitals provide dramatic, stylish emphasis, making mixed-case settings feel dynamic and intentional.
