This is a high-contrast italic serif with sharp, wedge-like bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper into fine hairlines, with crisp terminals and a forward-leaning rhythm that reads distinctly calligraphic. Capitals feel stately and open, while the lowercase is lively, with curved entries and exits that keep word shapes flowing. Numerals follow the same italic stress and contrast, giving figures a graceful, slightly display-leaning presence.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic with real presence is needed, such as book interiors, literary magazines, and long-form pull quotes. It also fits formal materials—programs, invitations, and refined brand identities—where a classic, polished voice is desirable.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking bookish sophistication and old-style formality. Its energetic slant and bright hairlines add a sense of refinement and ceremony rather than casualness.
The font appears designed as a conventional text-oriented italic that emphasizes graceful motion and traditional serif craft, offering a refined companion for sophisticated typography and emphasis within otherwise classical layouts.
The design shows strong diagonal movement and a slightly sparkling texture due to the thin connecting strokes and tapered joins. At larger sizes the detailing looks especially crisp, while at smaller sizes the hairlines may demand careful color and spacing to maintain clarity.
