This is a slanted serif with slender, tapering strokes and subtly flared terminals that soften the ends of stems without forming heavy blocks. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with a calligraphic stroke flow that shows in the angled joins and the gently modulated curves. Proportions feel open and lightly spaced, with rounded forms (O, C) kept smooth and even, and sharper diagonals (V, W, X, Y) cut cleanly. The lowercase is relatively compact and tidy, with single‑storey a and g, a simple hooked f, and an overall rhythm that stays consistent across text.
It suits editorial settings where an elegant italic voice is needed—magazine features, book and journal typography, and refined brand communications. It can work well for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes, and for short to medium text where a lighter, graceful texture is desired.
The tone is poised and literary, evoking classic book typography and cultured editorial design. Its italic stance and tapered detailing lend a sense of motion and sophistication, reading as formal but not stiff.
The design appears intended to provide a sophisticated italic with classical serif manners and gentle flaring, balancing readability with a distinctly stylish, calligraphic character for editorial and display use.
Figures appear lining and straightforward, matching the text style without calling attention to themselves. The overall color on the page is light and crisp, with enough modulation to create texture in paragraphs while keeping letterforms delicate.
