This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal stress and sharp, hairline serifs. Strokes transition quickly from thick stems to very thin connecting curves, creating a crisp, engraved feel. The italic angle is consistent and the letterforms are compact, with tight sidebearings and a relatively upright, economical footprint for an italic. Terminals are tapered and often end in small wedge-like serifs, while curves (notably in C, G, S, and the lowercase) show controlled modulation and a smooth, continuous rhythm.
It suits editorial typography such as book interiors, longform articles, and magazine layouts where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or headings. The sharp contrast and compact rhythm also make it effective for refined branding, invitations, and formal announcements, particularly at medium to larger sizes where the hairlines remain clearly rendered.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a classic editorial voice that feels formal without being stiff. Its sharp contrast and italic cadence add drama and sophistication, suggesting tradition, authority, and a polished, print-forward sensibility.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, highly polished italic companion with strong calligraphic energy and a distinctly classical serif vocabulary. Its contrast and tapered details prioritize elegance and expressive emphasis while maintaining the disciplined rhythm expected of conventional text serifs.
Uppercase forms read stately and composed, while the lowercase introduces a more calligraphic motion—especially in letters like a, e, f, g, and y—adding texture in running text. Numerals follow the same contrasty, serifed construction, matching the text color and maintaining a consistent typographic palette across letters and figures.
