A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that taper to sharp points. Curves are smooth and open, with a steady rhythm and slightly expanded proportions that give capitals generous presence. The italics show clear calligraphic influence: diagonal stress, energetic entry/exit strokes, and lively terminals on letters like a, f, j, and y. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy verticals with fine hairlines and refined curves for an even, polished texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or subheads. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and brand materials that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif tone.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, with an editorial, bookish character that feels authoritative rather than decorative. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, making text feel composed and intentional.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literary serif italic with strong calligraphic cues—built to deliver a polished, classical impression while maintaining a smooth reading rhythm in longer passages.
The design reads best when allowed a bit of space: the slant and contrast create a dynamic flow, while the wider set helps keep counters clear in running text. Pointed terminals and hairlines are visually prominent, giving the face a crisp, high-fidelity look in display sizes.
