A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. The strokes feel pen-informed, with smooth joins, narrow hairlines, and sharp entry/exit strokes that create a lively, flowing rhythm. Serifs are small and bracketed, often resolving into fine wedges rather than heavy feet, while rounded forms maintain a graceful, open curvature. Spacing appears moderately airy, helping the delicate details stay distinct in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book passages, pull quotes, and chapter openers where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also perform effectively in premium branding, packaging, and invitations, especially when set with generous leading and comfortable sizes to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its italic movement and high-contrast silhouette convey sophistication and a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward flavor while remaining grounded in traditional book typography.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, readable italic that carries traditional serif manners while delivering a more expressive, calligraphic sparkle for contemporary editorial and brand use.
The figures follow the same refined contrast and italic slant, blending well with the letters rather than reading as a separate system. Uppercase forms feel stately and calligraphic, while the lowercase emphasizes fluidity with long, tapering strokes and a consistent rightward momentum.
