A high-contrast italic serif with a noticeably calligraphic construction, pairing hairline joins with fuller primary strokes. Serifs are finely bracketed and often wedge-like, with tapered terminals that keep edges crisp even in heavier parts of the letterforms. The italic angle is consistent and produces a flowing left-to-right rhythm, while counters remain open and rounded enough for text. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with moderate extenders and clear differentiation between similar shapes (notably in the numerals and the lower-case forms).
Well-suited to long-form editorial settings where an elegant italic is needed, such as book typography, magazines, and refined publishing layouts. It also works effectively for upscale titles, pull quotes, and formal printed materials like invitations or programs where its contrast and tapering can be appreciated.
The overall tone is elegant and cultivated, with a distinctly literary, old-world sensibility. Its sharp tapers and lively italic movement add a touch of drama, making it feel ceremonial and premium rather than casual.
Designed to deliver a conventional, readable text serif in an italic voice, emphasizing classical proportions and calligraphic stroke modulation. The intent appears to balance formal tradition with a lively, expressive slant for polished editorial typography.
In the sample text, the contrast and thin hairlines become more prominent at larger sizes, where the crisp terminals and bracketed serifs read as intentional refinement. The italic forms maintain a steady texture across words, suggesting careful control of spacing and stroke modulation for continuous reading.
