An italic serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and bracketed wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant and a calligraphic rhythm, with tapered terminals and smooth, pressure-driven curves. Proportions are moderately narrow in some capitals with more expansive rounds in letters like O and Q, creating an animated, slightly variable texture across the line. Descenders are relatively long and expressive (notably in g, j, y), and the overall spacing reads open enough for continuous text while retaining a refined, sharp edge.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine text, and other long-form reading where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for pull quotes, forewords, captions, and formal stationery or invitations where a refined, traditional tone is desired.
The font conveys a cultured, bookish elegance with a hint of old-world formality. Its italic motion and high contrast give it a dramatic, editorial tone suited to sophisticated messaging rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that emphasizes calligraphic movement and contrast for a polished reading experience. It aims to provide a graceful, classical voice for continuous prose while remaining expressive enough for emphasis and display-sized highlights.
The capitals have a dignified, classical silhouette, while the lowercase includes distinctive italic features such as a single-storey a and a looped, calligraphic g. Numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast construction, giving figures a stylish, set-text feel rather than a purely tabular, technical look.
