This is a high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered entry strokes and finely bracketed serifs that read clean and crisp at display sizes. The forms show a pronounced rightward slant and a lively, calligraphic rhythm, with narrow joins and hairline terminals that create a light, elegant texture. Proportions are fairly traditional, with balanced capitals and a moderately sized x-height; counters remain open and the overall color stays even despite the strong thick–thin modulation.
It works especially well for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis or extended passages. It also suits formal communications—invites, programs, and premium branding—where a classic serif voice and high-contrast detailing can be shown at comfortable sizes.
The tone feels refined and literary, with a poised, classical elegance suited to cultured and formal settings. Its italic movement adds energy and sophistication without becoming flamboyant, giving text a polished, editorial voice.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic companion with a crisp, high-contrast drawing and a refined page rhythm. It prioritizes elegance and typographic nuance, aiming for a cultured, print-forward look in both headings and carefully set text.
Capitals have a sculpted, engraved quality with sharp apexes and tapered strokes, while lowercase shows fluid curves and delicate finishing strokes. Numerals follow the same italic stress, with slender shapes and notable contrast that favors clarity at larger sizes rather than rugged small-size reading.
