A refined italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. The letterforms are slightly condensed with a steady rightward slant, tapered terminals, and bracketed serifs that keep the rhythm smooth rather than sharp. Counters are open and rounded, while joins and curves show a calligraphic influence, especially in the lowercase. Numerals share the same delicate contrast and poised proportions, reading as elegant rather than rigidly geometric.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and literary publishing where an elegant italic texture is desirable. It also fits refined branding, invitations, and headlines or pull quotes that need a classic, upscale feel without becoming ornamental.
The font conveys a polished, literary tone—formal and cultivated, with a touch of old-world sophistication. Its lively italic movement feels editorial and expressive, suited to elegant emphasis rather than blunt utility.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic serif that brings classical elegance and emphasis to text. Its balance of crisp contrast, bracketed serifs, and controlled slant suggests a focus on sophisticated editorial use and dignified display settings.
In text, the thin hairlines and high contrast create a bright page color with a graceful, flowing texture. The italic shapes remain disciplined and consistent across caps and lowercase, producing a composed, bookish voice while still feeling dynamic.
