A high-contrast serif italic with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm and crisp, bracketed serifs. The strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with angled stress, and the overall texture is lively without becoming spiky. Letterforms are moderately narrow with gently tapered terminals and prominent entry/exit strokes, giving lines of text a forward-leaning flow. Counters are open and well-shaped, and spacing feels even, producing a clean, readable color at text sizes while remaining elegant in display settings.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial typography where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or titles. It also works effectively for magazine features, cultural institutions, and formal stationery or invitations, especially when paired with a compatible roman for extended reading.
The font conveys a classic, cultured tone—polished and bookish, with a hint of old-world formality. Its italic energy adds sophistication and motion, making it feel appropriate for refined editorial voices rather than casual or utilitarian contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional italic voice with refined contrast and a controlled, readable texture—an italic that feels authoritative enough for publishing while still expressive for display use.
Uppercase forms appear steady and dignified, while lowercase forms emphasize cursive construction with clear joins and pronounced ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic, aligning visually with text rather than reading as a separate system.
