This typeface is a slanted serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and a pronounced diagonal stress. Hairlines are very fine while main stems are noticeably stronger, creating a bright, airy texture in text. Serifs are sharp and tapered rather than blocky, and many joins and terminals show a subtle calligraphic flair. Proportions feel traditional, with compact counters and slightly narrow, flowing letterforms that maintain a consistent, rhythmic forward lean.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book typography, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also support formal branding and printed pieces like invitations or programs, especially at display sizes where the sharp serifs and fine hairlines can be appreciated.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, suggesting classic book typography with a fashionable, editorial sheen. Its refined contrast and sharp finishing details give it a formal, upscale voice, while the lively italic movement adds energy and sophistication.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic with a distinctly refined, high-contrast look—balancing traditional serif structure with calligraphic modulation for expressive, upscale text and display setting.
The figures and capitals carry the same crisp contrast and pointed serif treatment, reading best when given enough size and spacing for the hairlines to stay clear. Curved letters show smooth modulation, and the italic forms feel continuous and fluid rather than mechanically skewed.
