A high-contrast serif italic with a steady rightward slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes transition from thin hairlines to fuller stems with a calligraphic feel, and many joins and terminals end in subtly tapered or teardrop-like shapes. The forms are relatively compact with moderate apertures and a traditional rhythm, while the numerals and capitals keep a controlled, bookish presence without becoming overly ornate.
This font is well suited for editorial italics in books and magazines, including emphasis, quotations, and citations where a traditional serif italic is expected. It also works effectively for literary titles, pull quotes, and formal printed pieces such as invitations or programs, especially at sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking traditional publishing and formal correspondence. Its sharp hairlines and poised curves give it a refined, slightly dramatic elegance suited to sophisticated typographic settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with an emphasis on elegance and legibility, balancing lively calligraphic motion with disciplined, classical serif structure. It aims to deliver a familiar, authoritative typographic voice while providing the expressive contrast typical of refined italics.
The italic construction is prominent throughout, with lively entry/exit strokes and a consistent diagonal stress that helps words flow. In text, the contrast and narrow hairlines add sparkle, while the restrained proportions keep the texture relatively even for an italic.
