This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Thick verticals and hairline joins create sharp modulation, while stroke endings often taper and subtly flare rather than terminating in blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and open, with pointed entry/exit strokes that give many letters a brisk, swept rhythm. Capitals feel formal and slightly narrow with crisp terminals, and the numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic with graceful curves and fine hairlines.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book typography, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or a refined tone. It also works for formal communications such as invitations and programs, and for branding applications that benefit from a classic, cultured feel—especially in display sizes where the contrast and tapered details are most visible.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional book typography and classic editorial styling. Its crisp hairlines and sweeping italics read as refined and expressive, lending a sense of sophistication and cultivated warmth rather than a mechanical or purely modern feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, expressive italic with strong contrast and tapered, flared terminals that recall broad-nib calligraphy. It aims for a refined reading rhythm and an elevated, classic tone that can carry both continuous text and prominent, elegant headings.
In text, the strong diagonal movement creates an energetic line texture, while the fine hairlines can appear delicate at smaller sizes or on low-contrast backgrounds. The spacing and stroke economy give it a light, airy color on the page, with standout shapes in the italic forms (notably in letters like k, f, and y) that add personality without becoming ornamental.
