A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and relatively fine, with a calligraphic rhythm that shows in the angled stress and flowing joins. Capitals feel narrow and poised with sharp apexes and clean hairlines, while the lowercase is more animated, featuring compact bowls, open counters, and distinctive entry/exit strokes. Figures follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic, with curving forms and delicate endings that keep the texture light and elegant in setting.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and literary or cultural publications where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for refined branding, invitations, and short-form display lines that benefit from a classic, high-contrast texture.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, with a graceful, literary personality. Its sharp hairlines and flowing italic motion convey sophistication and a slightly dramatic, editorial flair rather than a utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, text-oriented serif with an expressive italic stance—balancing readability with calligraphic elegance. Its fine detailing and controlled proportions suggest a focus on polished composition for sophisticated print and editorial contexts.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive forward movement. The design leans on fine details—hairline serifs, tapered strokes, and small hooks—so it reads most confidently where reproduction is clean and sizes are not too small.
