A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, with tapered joins and sharp terminals that keep the color lively in text. Proportions feel open and slightly expansive, with generous interior counters and steady spacing that helps long lines breathe. The numerals follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic, showing clear stress and refined endings that match the letterforms.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazine features, and book or essay typography where an italic serif voice is needed with clarity and presence. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and brand language that aims for a classic, literary feel while keeping a clean, contemporary finish.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking classic book typography and polished editorial design. Its energetic slant and sharp finishing details add a sense of momentum and sophistication without becoming decorative or eccentric.
Likely intended as a versatile, conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a refined, high-contrast silhouette. The design emphasizes a classic typographic tone and smooth reading rhythm while offering enough sharpness and slant-driven energy to stand out in editorial settings.
Capital shapes read as sturdy and dignified while the lowercase carries more calligraphic movement, especially in letters with angled shoulders and sweeping diagonals. The design maintains a consistent stress across rounds and bowls, which reinforces a cohesive, text-oriented rhythm.
