A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal stress and sharp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and relatively fine, with hairline cross-strokes that create a bright, crisp texture in text. Proportions skew narrow with compact counters and a noticeably short x-height, while ascenders and capitals read tall and elegant. Curves are clean and controlled, and the overall rhythm is energetic, with subtle calligraphic modulation across rounds and diagonals.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or section openers. It also fits formal stationery and invitations, and works effectively for elegant headlines when given enough size and spacing to let the hairlines and curves breathe.
The font conveys a cultivated, bookish sophistication with a touch of flourish. Its slanted stance and crisp hairlines add momentum and drama, while the traditional serif structure keeps the tone formal and established.
Likely intended as a classic, text-oriented italic that balances traditional serif construction with a lively, calligraphic slant. The design emphasizes refinement and emphasis-ready tone, aiming for a polished reading texture and expressive typography in longer-form settings.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized logic, giving figures a graceful, slightly ceremonial presence. The texture becomes more delicate at smaller sizes due to thin hairlines, while larger settings emphasize the sweeping italic forms and sharp finishing strokes.
