A high-contrast italic serif with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm and finely tapered strokes. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with thin hairlines and fuller main strokes that create a lively vertical modulation. The italic construction is pronounced, with flowing entry/exit terminals and a consistent rightward slant; counters stay relatively open and the overall texture remains clean rather than ornate. Uppercase forms feel formal and balanced, while lowercase shows more movement in letters like a, e, g, and y; figures are lining-style with clear contrast and gently curved terminals.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also serve effectively in formal invitations, cultural branding, and headline/subhead applications that benefit from high-contrast refinement and a traditional serif presence.
The tone is polished and literary, suggesting sophistication and tradition without feeling heavy. Its energetic italic flow adds a sense of motion and emphasis, making it feel suited to cultured, editorial settings rather than utilitarian interfaces.
Likely designed to provide a classic italic companion with strong contrast and a poised, text-forward color—delivering emphasis and elegance for reading-oriented typography while retaining enough crisp structure for display use.
Spacing appears moderately open in text, helping the hairlines stay distinct and preserving clarity at larger text and display sizes. The design maintains a consistent slant and contrast across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving mixed-case settings a cohesive, well-paced color.
