A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms feel tall and compact, with relatively tight proportions and a steady, text-like rhythm. Strokes taper into sharp terminals, and many joins show a subtle calligraphic logic that keeps counters open while preserving a refined, engraved look. Numerals and capitals carry a slightly ornamental flair, while lowercase forms maintain readability through consistent stress and clear bowl structures.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an elegant italic texture is desirable—book passages, magazine features, pull quotes, and refined brand copy. It can also work for invitations or cultural materials where a classic, formal tone and sharper contrast help create emphasis.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, suggesting classic book typography with a touch of theatrical elegance. Its high-contrast shapes and lively italic movement give it a poised, expressive voice suited to sophisticated editorial settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented serif italic with heightened contrast and a slightly decorative edge. It aims to balance literary readability with a more expressive, formal presence for emphasis and display within editorial systems.
Several characters show distinctive, slightly embellished terminals (notably in the swash-like curves of some lowercase and the stylized figures), adding personality without breaking the overall conventional serif framework. The spacing in running text appears even, and the slant is consistent across cases and numerals, reinforcing a cohesive italic texture.
