A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The forms have a slightly expanded, open stance with clean, tapered terminals and a steady, diagonal stress that reads clearly in running text. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and serifs stay sharp, giving the letters a polished, print-oriented rhythm. Numerals and capitals follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic, maintaining a consistent, elegant texture across the set.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine settings where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also serve effectively in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from crisp contrast and a cultivated, traditional tone.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, with a poised, literary elegance. Its energetic slant and sharp contrast add a sense of sophistication and motion, suggesting premium print or cultured branding rather than utilitarian interface use.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic text-serif italic with strong contrast and a lively, calligraphic slant, balancing readability with a distinctly polished, editorial presence. Its open proportions and consistent rhythm suggest an aim for comfortable continuous reading while still providing a stylish, expressive accent.
The design’s contrast and pointed detailing become especially prominent at larger sizes, where the refined serifs and tapering strokes read as intentional style cues. In dense paragraphs it retains an even typographic color, but the sharper hairlines and angled forms give it a distinctly expressive, traditional italic character.
