A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins that give it a crisp, engraved feel. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, with sharp wedge-like terminals on many strokes, producing a lively, directional rhythm. Proportions are fairly traditional, with moderate x-height, open counters, and a narrow, slightly condensed feel in many letters, while the overall color stays light and airy. Numerals and capitals follow the same italic logic, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes that keep the texture consistent across text.
Well suited to editorial layouts, pull quotes, and book typography where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also serve in refined headlines and invitation-style materials, especially where a light, high-contrast texture will be printed or displayed at moderate to large sizes.
The tone is refined and literary, evoking bookish sophistication and classic formality. Its italic motion reads as expressive rather than casual, lending a sense of ceremony and cultivated taste.
The design appears intended as a classic, high-contrast italic companion for conventional serif typography, emphasizing graceful movement, sharp finishing, and a polished reading rhythm for literary and editorial contexts.
The italic construction is evident throughout, including in capitals and figures, with sweeping entry/exit strokes and delicate hairlines that reward generous sizes and comfortable line spacing. The overall rhythm feels smooth and continuous, with a slightly calligraphic undercurrent despite the sharp, print-like finish.
