This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline terminals. Strokes show a calligraphic logic, with tapered entries and exits and bracketed serifs that stay delicate rather than blocky. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: moderate x-height, generous ascenders and descenders, and open interior spaces that keep counters clear. The rhythm is smooth and continuous in text, with slightly varied character widths and careful spacing that supports a graceful italic flow.
Well suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or continuous setting. It can also serve in elegant brand applications—invites, programs, and packaging—where a refined serif italic contributes a premium feel.
The overall tone is cultured and polished, projecting a classical, editorial mood rather than a casual or technical one. Its sharp contrast and lively curves lend a sense of sophistication suited to refined messaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic with a strong nod to classical print tradition, prioritizing graceful motion, contrast-driven elegance, and a polished page color in running text.
The numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast construction, with curving forms and fine finishing strokes that read best at comfortable text sizes and above. Diagonals and curved letters maintain consistent stress, giving the set a cohesive, poised texture across lines of copy.
