A high-contrast italic serif with thin hairlines and sharp, tapered serifs that read as crisp and precise. The design shows a pronounced rightward slant, narrow joining points, and calligraphic modulation that gives strokes a chiseled, engraved feel. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase is more animated, with long ascenders/descenders and occasional flourished terminals. Numerals appear oldstyle-leaning in spirit, with diagonal stress and varied widths that maintain an elegant rhythm in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography, literary layouts, and classic bookwork where an expressive italic is desired for emphasis. It also fits formal applications such as invitations, programs, and refined branding, and can serve as an elegant headline or pull-quote face when given sufficient size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking bookish sophistication and classic print refinement. Its lively italic movement and delicate hairlines add a sense of grace and ceremony, making it feel more expressive than a purely utilitarian text face.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast italic serif that balances formal readability with a touch of calligraphic flourish. Its goal is to provide a polished, traditional voice for text and display emphasis, with enough distinctive detailing to feel curated rather than generic.
The lowercase includes several distinctive, more decorative shapes (notably in letters like w, z, and some terminals), which adds personality and a slightly ornamental texture. In continuous setting the contrast and slant create a strong horizontal flow, while the thin details suggest best use at comfortable sizes and in well-supported rendering environments.
