A refined italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered terminals. The letterforms show a right-leaning, calligraphic construction with slender hairlines, smooth curved joins, and bracketed serifs that stay crisp at the ends. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: moderate x-height, open counters, and a lively rhythm created by varied stroke widths and gently swelling curves. Numerals and capitals follow the same high-contrast logic, keeping an even, polished texture in running text.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic with clear hierarchy is needed. It also works effectively for pull quotes, subtitles, and refined promotional copy, and can lend a formal tone to invitations or cultural/event materials when set with ample spacing.
The overall tone is graceful and cultured, with a formal, literary voice. Its flowing italic motion reads as expressive rather than casual, suggesting classic publishing and editorial contexts. The contrast and fine details lend a sense of sophistication and restraint.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast italic serif for polished text setting—combining classical proportions with a lively, calligraphic slant. Its consistent detailing and controlled contrast suggest a focus on elegant readability and typographic hierarchy rather than display eccentricity.
Diagonal strokes and entry/exit terminals are consistently sharp and controlled, giving the design a clean, engraved-like finish. Round forms remain smooth and balanced, while narrow joins and fine hairlines create a bright page color that benefits from comfortable leading and sizes that can preserve detail.
