This typeface is a high-contrast serif italic with strongly modulated strokes and sharp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with a consistent rightward slant and a pronounced calligraphic rhythm through the alphabet. Capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase shows flowing entry/exit strokes, a single-storey “a,” and compact, rounded bowls that create a lively texture. Numerals share the same italic energy and contrast, with crisp joins and narrow internal counters that keep figures feeling refined rather than mechanical.
This design is well suited for italic roles in books and long-form editorial layouts, such as emphasis, quotations, and subheads. It also performs nicely for magazine features, refined branding lines, and formal materials like invitations or programs where an elegant italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and formal editorial styling. Its contrast and italic motion add a sense of elegance and ceremony, making text feel curated and slightly dramatic without becoming ornamental.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional, text-oriented serif italic with clear calligraphic influence, balancing readability with a graceful, high-contrast finish. Its proportions and controlled detailing suggest an intention to complement conventional serif typography while providing a distinctive, polished italic presence.
In the sample text, the slanted forms and strong thick–thin pattern create a pronounced diagonal texture, especially in word shapes with repeated verticals. The sharper terminals and fine hairlines give it a crisp, high-end look at display sizes, while the consistent modulation keeps longer passages visually coherent.
