This italic serif shows pronounced stroke contrast with fine hairlines and sharper, weighty main stems, creating a crisp, shimmering texture in text. Serifs are small and bracketed, with tapered terminals and a calligraphic flow that emphasizes diagonal stress and forward motion. The lowercase has gently compact proportions and a steady x-height, while ascenders and capitals rise with a stately presence; bowls are smooth and open, and joining strokes stay clean without becoming spidery. Numerals and capitals keep the same high-contrast logic, producing a cohesive, classic rhythm across the set.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, citations, or excerpts. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and cultural or academic material that benefits from a traditional serif tone.
The overall tone feels polished and literary, with a poised, old-style elegance suited to traditional publishing aesthetics. Its italic voice reads as expressive but controlled, suggesting sophistication rather than casual informality.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast italic companion for serious text typography, balancing calligraphic character with restrained proportions for dependable reading rhythm. Its details aim to deliver an elegant, classic impression while remaining orderly in continuous setting.
In the text sample, the face maintains a consistent cadence and clear word shapes, with distinctive italic forms (notably in letters like a, f, g, and y) that add personality without disrupting readability. The combination of delicate hairlines and firm stems gives it a premium, print-minded look at display and text sizes where contrast can be appreciated.
