A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms feel open and spacious, with relatively generous widths and clean, tapered terminals that suggest a calligraphic influence. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are ample, and the overall rhythm is even despite the lively contrast. Numerals follow the same elegant stress, with clear, old-style-like curves and delicate entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to magazine typography, book interiors, and other editorial settings where an elegant slanted serif is desired. It can add refinement to headlines and subheads, and works effectively for pull quotes or short blocks of text where its contrast and motion become part of the typographic voice.
The font reads as polished and traditional, with a distinctly editorial tone. Its slanted, high-contrast drawing adds a sense of sophistication and motion, giving text a cultured, literary voice rather than a neutral one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-end reading experience with an expressive slant and strong contrast, balancing tradition with a touch of flourish for editorial and literary applications.
Uppercase forms appear poised and slightly formal, while lowercase characters keep a flowing, text-oriented cadence that supports continuous reading. The italic angle is consistent across letters and figures, and the fine hairlines benefit from comfortable spacing to maintain clarity.
