A high-contrast serif with an italic slant and sharply tapered, bracketed serifs. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp hairlines, giving counters and apertures a clean, chiseled edge. Proportions feel generously set, with a comparatively tall lowercase presence and lively, slightly calligraphic terminals. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and angled stress, reading clearly with elegant curves and pointed details.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes, especially where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also fits refined headlines, cultural branding, and formal printed materials like invitations or programs where a classic serif texture is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with a distinctly literary, editorial feel. Its sharp hairlines and energetic italic rhythm add sophistication and a sense of forward motion, while the traditional serif structure keeps it authoritative and composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with a more expressive italic character—balancing readability with a polished, high-contrast look. Its combination of crisp hairlines, bracketed serifs, and lively slant suggests a focus on sophisticated publishing and display settings that benefit from traditional typographic cues.
The rhythm is smooth and consistent across uppercase and lowercase, with noticeable angled stress in rounded forms. Pointed joins and thin finishing strokes create a crisp texture that rewards comfortable sizes and good reproduction, where the delicate details can remain intact.
