This typeface is a slanted, high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and crisp, bracketed serifs. Stems and curves show a distinctly calligraphic modulation, with diagonal stress apparent in rounded letters and a lively thick–thin rhythm across the line. Letterforms are compact and disciplined, with relatively narrow joins and tapered entry/exit strokes; several lowercase characters feature teardrop or wedge-like terminals that add sparkle without becoming ornamental. The numerals and capitals maintain the same refined contrast and angled axis, producing a consistent, formal texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine features where a refined serif texture is desired. It can also support upscale branding and invitations when used at comfortable sizes that preserve the delicacy of the hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial sophistication. Its bright hairlines and graceful slant lend a sense of ceremony and discretion, making it feel more cultured than casual.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic, print-oriented reading experience with a distinctly italic voice—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a smooth, calligraphic flow for sophisticated text settings and display accents.
In paragraph samples the slant creates forward motion while the high contrast keeps the page color light and airy. The punctuation and figures sit cleanly with the text, and the italic construction reads as intentional and primary rather than merely oblique.
