A high-contrast italic serif with a calligraphic rhythm and distinctly tapered stroke endings. The letterforms show diagonal stress and finely bracketed serifs, with crisp hairlines and fuller entry/exit strokes that create a smooth, flowing texture in text. Capitals are slightly narrow with elegant, restrained curves, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable x-height and consistent slant. Numerals and punctuation share the same sharp terminals and balanced proportions, keeping the overall color even despite the strong thick–thin modulation.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and magazine features where an italic can carry emphasis with elegance. It also fits formal communications—programs, invitations, and announcements—especially where a classic, polished italic is desired. Best used at text to moderate display sizes where the fine hairlines and strong contrast can remain clear.
The tone is classic and literary, leaning toward refined formality rather than display exuberance. Its italic voice feels traditional and composed, evoking book typography, cultured editorial work, and a quiet sense of prestige.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable italic serif that adds sophistication and movement to text while staying disciplined in structure. Its strong contrast and calligraphic terminals suggest a focus on traditional typographic voice for emphasis, titles, and refined editorial settings.
In running text, the italic slant and tapered serifs produce lively diagonals and a graceful baseline movement. The shapes read as carefully controlled rather than flamboyant, with smooth curves, tidy joins, and a consistent pen-like logic across the set.
