A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered serifs that read as finely bracketed rather than blocky. The forms show a calligraphic construction: curved joins, teardrop-like terminals on some lowercase, and a rhythmic, forward-leaning stroke flow. Capitals are comparatively restrained and airy, while the lowercase is narrower and more animated, creating a clear hierarchy and a lively texture in running text. Numerals appear similarly italicized and elegant, with flowing curves and modest, understated finishing strokes.
Works well for editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and any context where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis or display. It also suits refined branding touchpoints such as invitations, boutique packaging, and headings or pull quotes where its contrast and slant can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking editorial sophistication and classic, cultured formality. Its brisk italic angle and high-contrast hairlines give it a poised, expressive voice suited to refined, traditional typography.
The font appears intended as a classic, high-contrast italic for sophisticated text and display, balancing traditional serif structure with a distinctly calligraphic, expressive rhythm. It is designed to communicate refinement and provide a graceful italic companion for formal typography.
In paragraphs the spacing feels open and the diagonal stress keeps lines moving, while the finer hairlines and sharp details become more prominent at larger sizes. The design leans more toward graceful emphasis than rugged everyday setting, especially in the more delicate lowercase and figures.
