A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairlines, combining crisp, bracketed serifs with gently tapered terminals. The capitals feel stately and open, with generous counters and a measured, oldstyle rhythm, while the lowercase shows a more calligraphic flow and varied widths. Curves are smoothly drawn and slightly tensioned, and spacing reads even in text despite the fine joining strokes and narrow entry/exit details.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an expressive italic voice is desirable. It also works effectively for display applications like invitations, cultural branding, and pull quotes that benefit from a refined, classical feel.
The overall tone is cultivated and elegant, with a distinctly literary, editorial character. Its italic mannerisms and high-contrast structure give it a poised, formal voice suited to premium, classic-minded design.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with an emphasis on elegance and calligraphic movement, balancing readable proportions with a more expressive, high-contrast texture for sophisticated composition.
In running text the sparkle from hairlines and sharp serifs is noticeable, giving pages a lively texture. The numerals echo the same refined contrast and slant, matching the text color well for sophisticated composition.
