A slanted serif with sharp, tapered terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives strokes a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Serifs are small and bracketed, with wedge-like entry and exit strokes that keep counters open while maintaining a dark, assertive texture. The capitals read stately and slightly narrow with strong diagonals, while the lowercase shows lively joins and angled stress, producing a rhythmic, forward-moving line. Numerals follow the same italic construction, with elegant curves and crisp transitions that match the letterforms.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium editorial settings where its contrast and slant can shine—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book jackets, and refined brand titling. It can work in larger text sizes for invitations or formal collateral, especially where a stylish, classical italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, combining classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward, headline-driven energy. Its steep slant and high contrast convey sophistication and motion, suggesting premium editorial styling rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened elegance and emphasis, leveraging a strong italic stance and dramatic contrast for impactful typography. It aims to balance traditional readability cues—bracketed serifs and open counters—with a more expressive, fashion/editorial rhythm.
In running text the design creates a distinctly patterned texture: dense verticals punctuated by thin hairlines and crisp, pointed terminals. The slant is consistent across cases, and the forms favor smooth, continuous curves over mechanical geometry, reinforcing a traditional, pen-influenced impression.
