A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline terminals. The forms show a calligraphic construction: entry and exit strokes taper cleanly, curves are taut, and serifs are small and neatly bracketed rather than heavy. Capitals feel slightly narrow and upright in structure while maintaining the overall italic angle, with pointed joins and crisp diagonals. Lowercase proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, open counters, and long, smooth arches, creating an even rhythm in text despite the strong contrast.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book covers, section heads, and pull quotes where an expressive italic serif is desired. It can also serve for refined branding, packaging, and invitation work, especially when set with generous size and spacing to let the hairline details breathe.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, evoking classic book typography and contemporary editorial styling at the same time. Its sheen and delicacy communicate sophistication, formality, and a touch of drama, making it feel more expressive than a neutral text face.
This design appears intended as a graceful, high-contrast italic that brings a premium, literary voice to display and editorial settings. The consistent calligraphic tapering and controlled proportions suggest an emphasis on elegance and readable rhythm rather than ruggedness or utilitarian text color.
In the sample text, the stroke contrast and fine details become most prominent at larger sizes, where the hairlines and tapered terminals read as intentional elegance. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with curved figures showing lively stress and crisp finishing strokes.
