This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a sharp, tapered drawing. Strokes shift from sturdy verticals to very fine hairlines, and most terminals finish in pointed or lightly bracketed serifs rather than blunt cuts. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with compact joins and lively, angled stress in rounds. The lowercase shows flowing italic construction with distinct entry/exit strokes, while capitals are more restrained but still noticeably slanted and finely detailed.
Well suited for book and magazine typography where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis, introductions, and pull quotes. It can also serve elegantly in invitations, packaging, and branding that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif voice, especially in display and larger text settings.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with an editorial sophistication that reads as cultured and formal. Its crisp hairlines and graceful italics suggest a literary, classical voice suited to refined typography rather than utilitarian UI settings.
The design appears intended to provide a refined, traditional italic serif for editorial and literary use, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and calligraphic flow while keeping a conventional serif structure for familiar readability.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same sharp contrast and slanted rhythm, giving headlines a cohesive, energetic sweep. Fine details and tight hairlines make the design feel best in clean reproduction and at sizes where the delicacy can be appreciated.
