A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are small and bracketed, with tapered terminals that feel pen-driven rather than mechanical. The forms are narrowish and lively, with clear diagonal stress and flowing joins that create a continuous rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, pairing sturdy main strokes with delicate curves and entry/exit flicks.
Performs well for editorial design, book and magazine typography, and other long-form settings where an elegant serif texture is desired. It also suits invitations, cultural materials, and branding applications that want a classic, refined italic presence, especially at comfortable text and display sizes.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, evoking traditional book typography with an added sense of motion from the strong slant. It reads as polished and sophisticated, suited to content that benefits from a classic, editorial voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic edge—prioritizing graceful rhythm, sharp contrast, and a polished page color for literary and editorial use.
In running text the thin hairlines and sharp terminals contribute to a crisp sparkle, while the slant and tapered details keep the texture animated. The italic construction is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving a cohesive, calligraphic character.
