A high-contrast serif italic with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with pointed, calligraphic terminals that give the outlines a crisp, engraved feel. The italic construction is moderately slanted with flowing, slightly variable character widths and lively curves, especially in the bowls and diagonals. Spacing appears balanced for text, and the figures follow the same contrast and italic rhythm for a cohesive set.
Well-suited to editorial typography—book interiors, magazine features, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also fits premium packaging, cultural branding, invitations, and pull quotes where its high contrast and sharp detailing can convey formality and elegance.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and formal correspondence. Its combination of strong contrast and sharp detailing reads as refined and slightly dramatic, with a cultured, old-style sensibility rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic edge, balancing readability with a more expressive, high-contrast rhythm. It aims to provide a classic, authoritative italic for editorial use while offering enough finesse to work in display settings when set larger.
The capitals maintain a stately presence with clean, classical proportions, while the lowercase shows more movement and calligraphic energy in its joins and terminals. At larger sizes the fine hairlines and pointed details become a defining feature, emphasizing sophistication and precision.
