A high-contrast italic serif with sharp hairlines, fuller main strokes, and clearly bracketed wedge serifs. The forms show a pronounced rightward slant and a lively, calligraphic rhythm, with tapered terminals and smooth entry/exit strokes that keep the texture flowing in continuous text. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with moderate ascenders and descenders and a relatively narrow, efficient footprint that stays crisp at display sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also performs well for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal invitations or announcements, especially when set with generous leading to let the contrast breathe.
The overall tone is classic and literary, leaning formal and sophisticated rather than casual. Its brisk italic movement and refined contrast suggest an editorial voice—polished, articulate, and slightly dramatic without becoming ornamental.
Likely designed as a conventional text italic with a strong calligraphic slant—prioritizing readable, traditional letterforms while delivering a distinctly elegant, high-contrast color on the page.
Uppercase shapes read as stately and somewhat narrow, while the lowercase carries the main personality through angled stress and tapered joins. Numerals appear lining with similarly high contrast, pairing well with capitals for titling and editorial settings.
