A slanted serif with crisp, high-contrast construction: sturdy main strokes paired with very fine hairlines and sharp, unbracketed terminals. The letterforms feel drawn with a pointed-pen sensibility, showing tapered joins, delicate entry strokes, and wedge-like finishing on many serifs. Counters are open and the rhythm is lively, with noticeably varied character widths and generous sidebearings that create an airy texture. Capitals are restrained and formal, while the lowercase shows more movement through long ascenders, curved descenders, and expressive diagonals.
Well suited to editorial headlines and subheads, title pages, pull quotes, and other premium typography where contrast and finesse can be appreciated. It also fits formal branding and invitation-style applications, and can work for short-to-medium passages of text when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is cultured and polished, evoking classic book typography and fashion-led editorial design. Its sheen comes from the bright contrast and graceful slant, giving text a poised, slightly dramatic cadence without feeling decorative or ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast serif voice in an italic stance, prioritizing elegance, rhythm, and typographic refinement. It aims for a classic reading aesthetic with a slightly calligraphic sparkle that elevates display and editorial composition.
At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp serifs read particularly crisp, and the italic flow becomes a key part of the font’s personality. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and slanted, calligraphic logic, supporting a cohesive page color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
