This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes transition from hairline-thin to sturdy stems, with tapered entry/exit strokes and neatly bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with long, sweeping ascenders and descenders, giving lines an airy, elevated texture. Letterforms are generally narrow in their counters but not condensed overall, and spacing reads even and text-oriented, with italics that remain clear in continuous reading.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or section openers. It can also serve refined display roles—titles, pull quotes, and invitation-style settings—where its contrast and slanted movement add sophistication without becoming overly decorative.
The font conveys a polished, literary tone—poised and traditional, with a touch of flourish. Its crisp contrast and graceful curves suggest formality and care, making it feel appropriate for cultured, editorial contexts rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended as a classic, text-oriented italic that balances tradition and readability with expressive, calligraphic detailing. It aims to provide a cultured italic color for extended passages and typographic hierarchy while preserving sharp, high-contrast elegance.
Capitals have a stately, inscriptional presence while maintaining the same italic motion as the lowercase. Numerals follow the same contrast model and italic angle, reading as elegant companions to text rather than purely tabular figures.
