A sharply inclined serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline connections. Serifs are finely bracketed and tapered, with long, pointed terminals that give many strokes a calligraphic finish. Proportions feel classical and slightly condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase shows more cursive movement, including a single-storey a and g and a long, descending f with an expressive hook. Figures are italic and similarly high-contrast, with sweeping curves and thin joins that emphasize a delicate, engraved rhythm.
Well suited to magazine features, book typography, and other editorial settings where an italic voice is needed with authority and grace. It also fits invitations, certificates, and upscale branding, and works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and short passages where its high-contrast detailing can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its lively slant and tapered details suggest sophistication and a sense of ceremony, leaning toward literary and luxury contexts rather than utilitarian UI use.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif italic with a strong calligraphic underpinning—providing a refined, expressive companion for formal typography while keeping letterforms familiar enough for sustained reading in controlled contexts.
The design relies on fine hairlines and narrow joins, so it reads best when given enough size and printing/display conditions that preserve its delicate details. The italic construction is continuous and energetic, with noticeable entry/exit strokes that create a fluid line in text settings.
