A slanted serif with pronounced contrast between hairlines and stressed strokes, drawing an energetic diagonal rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Serifs are finely tapered and often sharpen into small beak-like terminals, with occasional flicks and entry/exit strokes that hint at a calligraphic origin. The proportions are compact and tightly set, with a modest x-height and long, active ascenders/descenders that add vertical liveliness. Curves are crisp and slightly angular at joins, keeping counters open while preserving a delicate, hairline-heavy texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial settings, book typography, and literary or cultural titles where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also serve in invitations and refined branding when used at sizes that preserve its fine hairlines and sharp terminals.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a slightly theatrical flair from its sharp terminals and lively italic movement. It feels formal and cultivated, suggesting classic book typography and editorial sophistication rather than neutral utility.
Likely intended as a classic, text-oriented serif with an expressive italic character—balancing traditional proportions with heightened stroke contrast and crisp, calligraphic terminals to add sophistication and momentum in running text and display settings.
Capitals show a steady, controlled slant and a consistent stress pattern, while the lowercase introduces more motion through hooked terminals and occasional swash-like details. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast and slanted stance, aligning visually with the text color rather than standing apart.
