A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairlines, giving the letters a bright, engraved look. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered terminals and subtle, calligraphic stroke endings. Proportions feel traditional and slightly condensed in rhythm, with a modest x-height and long ascenders/descenders that create airy vertical movement. Capitals are sharp and poised, while lowercase forms show lively italics with flowing joins and angled stress; figures follow the same italic stance and contrast for consistent texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, essays, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits formal invitations, cultural institutions, and premium branding when used at sizes that preserve its fine hairlines and sharp serifs.
The overall tone is polished and literary, conveying a sense of tradition, formality, and quiet sophistication. Its high-contrast sparkle and sweeping italic motion evoke editorial and bookish settings rather than utilitarian signage.
The design appears intended as a classic, high-contrast italic for refined text composition, prioritizing elegance and traditional typographic color with a distinctly calligraphic cadence.
In running text, the pronounced contrast and fine details create a delicate, shimmering color; generous curves and tapered strokes add a graceful cadence. The italic construction reads clearly as a true italic (not merely obliqued), with expressive lowercase forms and a distinctly cursive feel in letters like a, f, g, and y.
