A sharply inclined serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered serifs. The letterforms show a lively, calligraphic construction: long, sweeping entry and exit strokes, narrow joins, and pointed terminals that keep counters open despite the high contrast. Uppercase forms are graceful and slightly narrow, with flowing diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) and a distinctive, looped Q tail. Lowercase has a compact x-height and generous ascenders/descenders, with single-storey a and g and a gently curved, right-leaning rhythm that gives text a continuous, gliding line.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors with italic emphasis, and magazine or cultural headlines where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits invitations, formal correspondence, and premium branding applications that benefit from high-contrast sophistication and graceful movement.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, conveying editorial polish and old-world sophistication. Its brisk italic movement and fine details add a sense of ceremony and luxury while remaining poised and readable at display-to-text sizes where its contrast can breathe.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic for refined typography, prioritizing elegance, forward motion, and a polished text rhythm. Its compact lowercase proportions and crisp detailing suggest a focus on traditional literary and editorial settings with a distinctly expressive italic character.
Figures appear lining and italicized, matching the slanted texture of the alphabet, with refined curves and light baseline touchpoints. Spacing in the sample text reads even and flowing, emphasizing an elegant, continuous texture rather than a rigid, blocky paragraph color.
