This typeface is a slanted, high-contrast serif with sharply tapered entry and exit strokes and subtly flared terminals. Stems are slender with pronounced thick–thin modulation, and many strokes finish in wedge-like serifs rather than blunt ends, giving the letterforms a crisp, sculpted edge. The italics are deeply integrated into the design: capitals lean with sweeping diagonals and lively curvature, while the lowercase shows compact, gently rounded bowls and a rhythmic, calligraphic flow. Counters are open and the overall spacing feels airy, supporting a bright page color despite the fine hairlines.
It suits editorial settings such as magazine features, book typography, and pull quotes where an expressive italic texture is desirable. The refined contrast and flared terminals also make it a strong choice for luxury branding, invitations, and other formal print applications, particularly at text-to-display sizes with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a traditional, editorial voice. Its sharp hairlines and poised curves suggest sophistication and ceremony, while the active italic movement adds a sense of dynamism and cultured refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-end serif voice with an italic-first sensibility—prioritizing graceful movement, crisp contrast, and traditional proportions while remaining clean and readable in continuous text.
Curved letters show a clear diagonal stress, and several forms (notably in the lowercase and figures) use tapered finishing strokes that read as pen-influenced rather than purely mechanical. The numerals follow the same contrast and slant, maintaining a consistent texture in mixed text and titling.
