A high-contrast serif italic with slender hairlines, sharply defined thicker stems, and smoothly bracketed serifs. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, with a lively, calligraphic rhythm created by tapered terminals and subtly swelling strokes. Proportions feel classical and slightly narrow in the capitals, while the lowercase keeps a steady x-height and open counters; ascenders are relatively tall, adding vertical grace. Figures are lining and similarly slanted, matching the text’s stroke modulation and maintaining a cohesive texture in running copy.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazine features, and essay-like layouts where an expressive italic is needed. It also works effectively for refined invitations, cultural branding, and pull quotes or headings that benefit from a graceful, traditional tone.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a poised, old-world refinement suited to polished, formal typography. Its crisp contrast and flowing italics communicate sophistication and a sense of tradition rather than blunt utility.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes elegance, smooth reading rhythm, and classical typographic manners. Its pronounced contrast and carefully shaped serifs suggest use in quality composition where a distinctive italic voice complements roman text.
In text, the strong thick–thin modulation produces a bright page color with clear word shapes, while the long, curved italic forms (notably in letters with descenders and diagonals) add motion and personality. The design reads best when given comfortable spacing and enough size for the hairlines to stay visible.
