A slanted serif with crisp, finely tapered hairlines and noticeably stronger main strokes, producing a clear high-contrast rhythm. The letterforms show bracketed serifs, sharp terminals, and a lively, calligraphy-informed stroke flow, with subtle entry/exit flicks on many lowercase shapes. Proportions feel moderately narrow with generous internal counters, and the italic construction gives a forward, continuous texture in text. Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with varying heights and curving forms that harmonize with the italic lowercase.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, essays, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or primary setting. It also works effectively for refined display use—titles, pull quotes, invitations, and cultural or fashion-oriented branding—where contrast and classical detailing can read as premium.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, with a traditional, literary warmth. Its sheen of contrast and the fluid italic movement lend it a formal, editorial voice suited to sophisticated reading experiences.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, text-oriented serif experience with an italic that feels genuinely drawn rather than mechanically slanted. Its aim is to balance traditional proportions and sharp serif detailing with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm for polished reading and elegant emphasis.
In the sample text, the font maintains an even color despite the pronounced contrast, and the italic angle helps lines knit together smoothly. Capitals are sharp and dignified while the lowercase adds expressive modulation, giving a dynamic but controlled page texture.
