A high-contrast serif italic with slender proportions and a brisk, right-leaning rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp, well-defined hairlines, while serifs are small, bracketed, and classically shaped, giving the letters a crisp, formal finish. Curves and joins feel slightly calligraphic, with lively terminals and occasional ball/teardrop endings in the lowercase. The texture is relatively light and airy for a text serif, and the numerals appear oldstyle, integrating smoothly with running text.
This face suits editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, and secondary text in books and magazines. It can also work well for refined captions, pull quotes, and formal communications that benefit from a classic italic texture.
The overall tone is cultured and refined, leaning toward literary and editorial sophistication. Its italic movement adds a sense of urgency and emphasis without becoming decorative, making it feel traditional yet energetic.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with a classical model: elegant contrast, compact proportions, and a controlled calligraphic flow aimed at readable, polished typography in long-form settings.
The narrow set and strong contrast produce a tight, bright page color in paragraphs, with particularly delicate hairlines that heighten the sense of precision. Descenders are expressive and contribute to an animated baseline in mixed-case text.
