A refined italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. Serifs are crisp and hairline-like, often ending in pointed or wedge-shaped terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming decorative. Curves are smooth and tensioned, with narrow joins and delicate hairlines that contrast strongly against the heavier main strokes. The italic construction is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a flowing rhythm and a slightly formal, bookish color on the page.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and literary branding where a polished italic voice is needed. It can add distinction to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes, and it also fits formal materials like invitations or programs where elegant contrast and sharp detailing read as premium.
The overall tone is cultivated and classical, projecting sophistication and a measured sense of drama. Its sharp, fine details give it an upscale editorial voice, while the steady italic motion adds a gentle sense of elegance and momentum.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic italic serif texture with a contemporary crispness: strong contrast, precise hairlines, and a controlled slant that reads confidently in display and refined text settings.
Capitals feel stately and open, while the lowercase leans into a graceful, calligraphic slant that maintains clarity in continuous text. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and italic angle, suitable for harmonizing with text rather than standing apart.
