A slender serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are finely bracketed and often sharpen into wedge-like points, giving strokes a chiseled, high-definition finish. The italic construction is fairly steep and fluid, with lively entry/exit strokes and a consistent rightward rhythm across both caps and lowercase. Counters are relatively open, while curves and joins stay tight and controlled, producing a clean, polished text color.
Well-suited to editorial typography and book or magazine text where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, sidebars, or pull quotes. It also fits invitations, formal announcements, and premium branding where a refined, classical serif impression is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is cultured and traditional, with a poised, editorial elegance that reads as formal without feeling rigid. Its strong calligraphic slant adds motion and sophistication, suggesting classical literature, certificates, and high-end communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a calligraphic edge, balancing readability with a distinctly elegant, high-contrast silhouette. Its consistent rhythm and careful finishing suggest use in composed, long-form typography as well as formal display accents.
Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow, with sharp detailing in diagonals and a restrained, old-style sensibility in the curves. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic and appear designed to blend smoothly in running text, maintaining the font’s graceful cadence.
