A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline terminals. The letterforms show a calligraphic, diagonally stressed construction, with bracketed serifs that taper into fine points and occasional subtle entry/exit strokes. Proportions feel traditional and moderately open, with a steady baseline rhythm and slightly generous sidebearings that support continuous text. Numerals follow the same crisp contrast and slanted posture, with smooth curves and delicate finishing strokes.
Well-suited for editorial design—magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts—where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or elegant subheads. It can also work in refined branding and packaging, particularly where a classic, high-contrast serif impression is desired and the type is set large enough to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is polished and literary, carrying the poise of classic book typography with a graceful, slightly formal flourish. Its crisp strokes and flowing italic movement read as cultured and expressive rather than neutral, lending a refined voice to headlines and emphasized text.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic companion for text work, combining traditional serif proportions with a distinctly calligraphic slant and crisp hairline finishing. Its emphasis is on elegance and rhythmic readability, providing a sophisticated accent for both continuous reading and display moments.
Curves and joins are handled with smooth, controlled transitions, and the italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The design favors sharp detail and fine serifs, so it visually rewards adequate size and clean reproduction where the hairlines can remain clear.
