A high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, using tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs that stay crisp at the ends. Capitals are relatively tall and stately with sweeping diagonals and slightly flared joins, while lowercase forms keep a steady, readable x-height with lively ascenders and descenders. Numerals share the same italic slant and modulation, with elegant curves and narrow joins that maintain a consistent texture in text.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or headings. It also works effectively for refined print applications such as cultural programs, poetry, and formal invitations where a classic, polished italic is desired.
The overall tone is sophisticated and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial refinement. Its sharp hairlines and graceful movement give it a cultured, formal feel suited to premium or classical contexts.
The design appears intended as a traditional, high-contrast italic for text, prioritizing a graceful reading rhythm and a distinctly classical tone. Its careful serif shaping and calligraphic modulation suggest an aim to provide an authoritative, elegant italic companion for editorial typography.
The design emphasizes forward motion: curves are drawn with controlled tension and many strokes finish in pointed, pen-like tapers. In running text it creates a smooth, bright page color with distinct word shapes, aided by the clear italic structure and consistent serif detailing.
