This typeface is a slanted, high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs. Strokes show a pronounced thick–thin modulation and diagonal stress, producing a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Uppercase forms are narrow and poised with sharp joins and delicately flared ends, while the lowercase stays relatively compact with flowing entry/exit strokes and a consistent rightward slant. Overall spacing reads even and controlled, with an emphasis on graceful curves, pointed apexes, and hairline finishing details.
It works especially well for display typography such as headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and slant can carry personality. The refined serif detailing also suits book jackets, magazine features, and branded editorial applications that need a premium, classical flavor.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its italic posture and sharp contrast give it a fashionable, literary voice that feels classic yet expressive, suited to contexts where elegance and emphasis are desired.
The design appears intended as an expressive, editorial italic serif that delivers elegance through strong contrast, sharp serif detailing, and a consistent calligraphic slant. It prioritizes visual finesse and tone over neutrality, providing a distinctive voice for emphasis and high-end typography.
The letterforms lean on long, sweeping curves (notably in round letters and diagonals) and small, precise serifs that keep the texture light on the page. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and appear designed to harmonize with text, maintaining the same refined stroke endings and slanted energy.
