A classical serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply cut serifs. The forms show a steady rightward slant and a calligraphic rhythm, with open counters and clear, well-separated spacing that keeps the texture readable. Terminals tend toward tapered, slightly bracketed finishes, and the overall silhouette feels elegant and assured rather than delicate or spiky.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, essays, and long-form articles where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing clarity. It also works effectively for pull quotes, introductions, captions, and refined branding or packaging that benefits from a classical, literary character.
This typeface conveys a refined, literary tone with a touch of old-world formality. Its italic movement and crisp contrast feel editorial and cultured, suggesting tradition, care, and a quietly expressive voice rather than a purely neutral one.
The design appears intended for comfortable, continuous reading while adding an elevated, traditional flavor. Its contrast and italic flow aim to provide emphasis and sophistication in text, balancing expressive stroke movement with disciplined proportions.
In text settings it produces a smooth, consistent color with strong vertical stress and distinct italic cadence. Numerals and capitals maintain the same crisp contrast and serif treatment, helping the face feel cohesive across mixed content.
