A slanted serif with sharp, finely tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are small and bracketed, contributing to a crisp, engraved feel without heavy terminals. Curves are smooth and open, with a slightly narrow, vertical-leaning skeleton that keeps counters clear even as strokes thin out. The rhythm is lively and directional, with extended entry/exit strokes on several lowercase forms and a generally airy texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, essays, and book typography where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or headings. It can also support refined identity work and formal collateral like invitations and programs, especially where a bright, high-contrast texture is desirable.
The font conveys a polished, literary elegance—poised and traditional, with a gentle calligraphic energy rather than a rigid mechanical tone. Its contrast and slant give it a fashionable, editorial flavor that reads as cultured and formal.
Likely designed to provide a classic, readable italic companion with a distinctly refined contrast profile and a smooth, calligraphic flow. The emphasis appears to be on elegance and directional rhythm for sophisticated text and display use.
Capitals feel restrained and classical, while the lowercase shows more motion through long ascenders/descenders and tapered joins. Numerals appear similarly refined, with thin hairlines and graceful curves that match the text’s overall brightness.
