A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, engraved-like finish. Serifs are bracketed and often taper to sharp points, with subtly flared stroke endings that suggest a calligraphic pen angle. Capitals feel compact and sturdy, while the lowercase shows more movement in diagonals and joins, producing a lively rhythm. Counters are moderately open, curves are smooth and slightly squashed horizontally, and numerals follow the same italicized, high-contrast construction with clear, traditional forms.
Performs best in editorial settings such as magazine features, book typography, and sophisticated branding where an italic serif voice is desirable. It is particularly effective for headings, pull quotes, and emphasized passages, and can add a formal tone to invitations or cultural materials when set with comfortable size and leading.
The overall tone is bookish and classical, leaning toward a formal, old-world sophistication. Its energetic italic slant and sharp terminals add a sense of motion and rhetoric, making it feel suited to elegant emphasis rather than neutral text.
The design appears intended as a refined, traditional italic serif that balances readability with expressive, calligraphic energy. Its sharp, bracketed serifs and strong contrast aim to deliver a classic literary feel while keeping a confident presence in display and emphasis roles.
In the sample text, the contrast and pointed terminals create strong sparkle at larger sizes, while the slanted forms and tight hairlines call for sufficient size and spacing to maintain clarity. The design’s character is driven by the interplay of sturdy stems and very fine connecting strokes, which gives it a distinctly editorial voice.
