This typeface is a slanted serif with clearly modulated strokes and crisp, tapered terminals that often flare as they meet the ends of stems. Serifs are delicate and bracketed, with a calligraphic feel created by angled stress and subtly varying stroke thickness. Capitals are compact and upright in proportion but consistently sloped, while the lowercase shows lively, flowing joins and tapered exits. Round letters are slightly oval, and diagonals and curves resolve into sharp, elegant points rather than blunt cuts, keeping the overall texture clean and controlled.
It suits magazine features, book typography, and other long-form editorial settings where an italic with personality is desirable. The lively, tapered serifs and controlled contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a classic, cultivated tone.
The overall tone is polished and bookish, suggesting an editorial and literary voice rather than a casual or utilitarian one. Its slant and calligraphic modulation add motion and sophistication, while the restrained detailing keeps it serious and composed.
The design appears intended to provide a sophisticated italic voice with a traditional serif foundation and a more expressive, flared finishing to strokes. It balances readability with stylistic momentum, aiming for an elegant texture that feels at home in editorial and literary contexts.
Figures follow the same italic rhythm, with smooth curves and tapered entry/exit strokes that blend well with text. The sample setting shows a relatively even color for an italic, with enough contrast and definition to preserve clarity at text sizes while still reading as distinctly elegant.
