A high-contrast serif italic with crisp, tapered strokes and sharply cut terminals. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with a distinctly calligraphic stress that gives curves a lively, angled rhythm. Uppercase forms feel relatively upright but still slanted, while the lowercase shows more cursive energy with compact joins and narrow apertures in places. Numerals follow the same contrasty, chiseled treatment, maintaining a consistent color while showing slight width variation from character to character.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and classic print layouts, particularly for emphasis and italic styling. It also performs well in display roles—headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand typography—where its contrast and movement can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and classical, evoking traditional book typography and formal print work. Its pronounced contrast and italic movement lend an expressive, literary elegance that feels suited to sophisticated, cultivated messaging rather than utilitarian UI text.
Likely designed as a classic, high-contrast serif italic that prioritizes elegance and readable flow, providing a traditional typographic voice for editorial and literary settings while retaining enough sharpness for impactful display use.
In the text sample, the strong contrast and slender hairlines create a bright, polished texture, while the sharp entry/exit strokes add momentum across lines. At larger sizes the detailing reads especially clean and stylish; in smaller settings, the fine hairlines may require careful production and spacing to keep the texture even.
