A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic construction, with tapered strokes, angled stress, and neatly cut terminals that stay sharp without feeling brittle. Proportions run on the broader side, giving capitals and lowercase generous horizontal presence and open internal spaces for clarity. The rhythm is even and texty, with conventional, well-balanced shapes and a steady baseline despite the italic posture.
This face suits editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired, performing well for magazine features, essays, and literary packaging. The italic slant and contrast also make it effective for emphasis, pull quotes, and display lines that need a polished, classical feel.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, leaning toward refined, traditional typography. Its contrast and italic energy add a touch of elegance and formality, suggesting an editorial voice rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an italicized, high-contrast character—aiming for a familiar, authoritative reading experience while adding elegance and motion for editorial emphasis.
Figures appear lining and serifed, matching the text color and contrast of the alphabet. Curves and joins remain clean and controlled, while the italic slant gives headings and pull quotes a fluent, forward motion without becoming overly decorative.
