A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, bracketed serifs that feel calligraphically informed. Uppercase forms are refined and moderately narrow with crisp joins and carefully controlled curves, while the lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes and rounded, flowing bowls. Numerals share the same italic rhythm, with open counters and a smooth, slightly varied texture that reads as confident rather than rigidly mechanical.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or stylistic continuity. It also fits literary titling, pull quotes, and formal printed materials where a classic, high-contrast serif texture helps establish authority and refinement.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking traditional book typography and editorial polish. Its energetic italic angle and sharp contrast lend a sense of sophistication and momentum, making it feel assertive and somewhat dramatic without becoming ornamental.
This design appears intended as a conventional text-oriented serif italic with a refined, high-contrast palette and a strong traditional rhythm. The goal seems to be balancing readability with an elegant, expressive slant for editorial and literary typography.
The glyphs maintain a consistent rightward motion, with pointed terminals and subtle curvature that keeps long lines from looking stiff. Counters remain clear in both uppercase and lowercase, supporting readability while preserving a distinctly elegant, high-contrast color on the page.
