A slanted serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and neatly cut, with a calligraphic feel in the joins and a consistent diagonal stress across round forms. Capitals are proportioned with generous spacing and clean, restrained detailing, while the lowercase shows lively rhythm through angled entry strokes and gently swelling curves. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, reading as traditional and text-oriented rather than geometric.
Well suited to long-form editorial typography such as books, magazines, and essays where a refined serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in pull quotes, titling, and formal collateral like invitations or certificates, and can lend a classic, upscale tone to branding and packaging when used at moderate to large sizes.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting editorial seriousness with a touch of old-world elegance. Its italic motion adds energy and sophistication, making text feel cultivated and slightly ceremonial rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif experience with an elegant italic character—balancing traditional proportions and readable forms with a more calligraphic, high-contrast finish for elevated typography.
The italics are assertive enough to be used as a primary voice, not only for emphasis, with clear differentiation between similar forms (e.g., I/J and O/0) in the samples shown. Curved letters and diagonals maintain a smooth flow, while sharp terminals keep edges crisp at display sizes.
