A slender italic serif with sharp contrast between thick and hairline strokes and an energetic rightward slant. Stems taper into delicate, flared terminals and fine serifs, while curves are drawn with a smooth, slightly calligraphic modulation. Proportions are compact and upright in the capitals, with narrow set widths and ample internal whitespace; the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with long, clean ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same contrasty, editorial flavor, mixing firm verticals with thin entry/exit strokes for a crisp, polished texture.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and pull quotes, where its contrast and italic cadence add emphasis without feeling ornamental. It also works for fashion-leaning branding, packaging accents, and book-jacket titling, particularly in headline sizes or short passages where the refined details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, combining classical bookish manners with a fashionable, contemporary sheen. It reads as confident and sophisticated, suited to contexts where a sense of craft and refinement is desired.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant italic voice with a classic serif foundation and subtly flared stroke endings, creating a premium, literary character that stands out in display while remaining composed in text settings.
In text, the italic angle and strong contrast create a lively, forward-moving rhythm, especially in mixed-case settings. The design’s very fine hairlines and tapered joins give it a distinctly delicate presence that benefits from comfortable sizing and generous spacing in display and short text uses.
