A refined italic serif with sharp hairlines, tapered stems, and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are small and bracketed, with calligraphic entry/exit strokes that give letters a flowing, directional rhythm. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed, with generous inner counters to keep the texture open despite the steep slant. Numerals and capitals follow the same contrasty logic, producing a crisp, polished line of text.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book typography, and refined marketing materials where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It can serve as a display italic for headlines and pull quotes, and works nicely for formal pieces like invitations when set with comfortable tracking and leading.
The overall tone is sophisticated and literary, with a poised, editorial feel. Its pronounced contrast and controlled flourish suggest formality and taste rather than casual warmth, reading as classic and cultivated on the page.
Likely designed to provide an elegant, traditional italic companion for text-focused typography, balancing high contrast with readable spacing and a consistent calligraphic rhythm for polished, premium composition.
The forms show a consistent right-leaning momentum and a relatively delicate baseline presence, making spacing and word shape feel lively. Curves and terminals are clean and restrained, avoiding heavy ornament while still delivering a distinctly italic, calligraphic character.
