A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a noticeably calligraphic construction. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation and diagonal stress, with tapered joins and sharp terminals that keep counters open despite the contrast. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: moderate x-height, elegant ascenders, and a fluid italic rhythm with lively entry/exit strokes. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase leans smoothly with pronounced, sculpted curves and a consistent rightward momentum.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and literary or academic applications where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for invitations, certificates, and refined branding—especially for short passages, pull quotes, or emphasis where its contrast and slant can shine.
The tone is formal and cultivated, evoking classic publishing and traditional correspondence. Its polished contrast and italic movement convey sophistication and a sense of ceremony without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with a distinctly classical, high-contrast voice—balancing formal elegance with consistent text rhythm for extended setting and typographic emphasis.
Figures appear lining and italic, matching the text’s angle and contrast; several numerals show strong diagonal strokes and thin hairlines that will read best with adequate size and spacing. Overall color on the page is airy due to the thin hairlines, with a refined texture in continuous text.
