A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that give the strokes a sculpted, calligraphic feel. The slant is consistent and fairly assertive, with thin hairlines and strong main stems creating a crisp light–dark rhythm. Proportions feel classical, with slightly narrow letterforms and clear modulation through curves; the lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes and a relatively modest x-height compared to the capitals. Numerals and punctuation follow the same engraved, diagonal stress and maintain the font’s refined contrast.
Well suited for italic roles in book and long-form editorial typography, such as emphasis, quotations, and running text where a classic serif italic is expected. It also works effectively for literary titling, formal invitations, and refined brand or packaging moments that benefit from high-contrast elegance.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking classic book typography and formal editorial design. Its pronounced contrast and italic energy convey sophistication and a sense of tradition rather than casualness or utility.
The font appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif italic that prioritizes classical proportions, crisp modulation, and a smooth reading rhythm. Its detailing suggests a focus on traditional typographic settings where an expressive but disciplined italic voice is needed.
The design favors sharpness and motion: pointed joins, tapered feet, and energetic curves are especially noticeable in letters like Q, f, g, and y. At larger sizes the delicate hairlines read as elegant detail; at smaller sizes they may appear more fragile due to the strong contrast.
