A right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, bracketed serifs that read as sharp and refined. The forms are generously proportioned with open counters and a steady rhythm, while the italic structure shows calligraphic influence in the curved entries and exits. Uppercase shapes feel sturdy and classical, and the lowercase carries a smooth, rolling texture with compact joins and decisive terminals; numerals echo the same contrast and slanted stance for cohesive text color.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, essays, and long-form articles where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis or primary setting. It can also serve effectively in branding, invitations, packaging, and pull quotes where a classic, upscale tone and crisp contrast are desirable.
This face projects a poised, literary tone with a touch of continental flair. The italic movement and crisp contrast give it a confident, editorial voice that feels traditional yet expressive.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with elevated contrast and a polished, formal finish. Its shaping balances readability with a more expressive, calligraphy-informed slant to add emphasis and sophistication without becoming ornamental.
In the sample text, the italic angle is consistent and the letterspacing supports smooth word shapes, producing a dark, confident line on the page. The figures and capitals maintain the same contrast and serif treatment, helping mixed-case and alphanumeric settings feel unified.
