This serif italic presents a high-contrast structure with thin hairlines and heavier diagonals and bowls, giving the letterforms a crisp, chiseled sparkle. Serifs are finely bracketed and often taper to sharp, wedge-like terminals, while curves show a subtle calligraphic modulation. The design runs on a generous, open set with wide capitals and ample internal counters, producing an airy page color despite the pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Lowercase forms carry a steady rightward slant with compact, slightly tapered joins and distinctive teardrop-like dots and terminals that reinforce the italic flow.
Well suited to editorial typography where a refined italic voice is needed—magazine features, book interiors, essays, and sophisticated pull quotes. Its high-contrast detailing and sharp terminals also make it effective for headlines and short passages where elegance and emphasis are desirable.
The overall tone feels bookish and cultivated, with an elegant, slightly dramatic italic energy. It reads as traditional and authoritative, yet lively enough to suggest craftsmanship and a human hand behind the forms.
The font appears designed to provide a conventional serif reading texture with a more expressive italic, balancing classical proportions with crisp, tapered detailing for emphasis and editorial polish.
Capitals appear stately and spacious, while the lowercase introduces more movement and personality through tapered strokes and pointed finishing details. Numerals match the italic posture and contrast, keeping the set consistent for mixed text and display lines.
