A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced diagonal stress and slender hairlines that taper into pointed, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are finely bracketed and sharp, giving the outlines a crisp, chiseled feel, while curves show smooth modulation and a lively, forward slant. Proportions read as traditional for text, with moderate extenders and a compact, disciplined rhythm; capitals are slightly narrower and more stately, and the figures follow the same calligraphic contrast and italic movement.
Well-suited for italic roles in long-form typography such as books and magazines, as well as pull quotes, captions, and refined titling where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits formal print materials—programs, invitations, and branding accents—where high-contrast sophistication is desirable.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, evoking book typography, editorial sophistication, and a measured sense of tradition. Its energetic slant and crisp finishing details add a sense of finesse and formality rather than casual warmth.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional, bookish italic with strong calligraphic logic and crisp, high-contrast detailing, prioritizing elegance and typographic authority in editorial contexts.
The design shows strong consistency of stroke modulation across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with distinctive italic entry/exit strokes on many lowercase forms. The crisp hairlines and pointed terminals suggest it will look best when given adequate size and spacing to preserve its delicate details.
