A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with smooth joins and a pen-like flow that shows in the curved strokes and angled entry/exit points. Proportions feel moderately narrow with lively letterfit variation, and the counters remain open despite the delicate hairlines. The lowercase has a crisp rhythm with compact bowls, modest ascenders/descenders, and a generally understated, polished texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed with authority and grace—magazine features, book work, pull quotes, and refined brand language. It can also serve formal stationery and invitations, especially where a traditional, polished serif italic is desired.
The overall tone is cultured and understated, leaning toward a classic bookish elegance rather than display drama. Its refined contrast and italic cadence suggest sophistication and a traditional, literary voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a classical, pen-informed construction: clear enough for continuous reading while providing a distinctly elegant, expressive slant for emphasis and editorial nuance.
The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, and the numerals share the same tapered, calligraphic logic as the letters. In running text the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a light, sparkling color that rewards comfortable sizes and good reproduction.
