A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with compact bowls and a steady rhythm that reads as formal rather than casual. Many terminals finish in subtle teardrop/ball forms, and strokes often taper to sharp points, giving the letterforms a polished, engraved-like snap. The lowercase shows a gently calligraphic flow with open counters and a consistent, upright axis translated into an italic stance; figures are similarly high-contrast and shaped to match the serif texture.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and prominent pull quotes where the italic energy and high-contrast serifs can shine. It can also work for refined packaging and book-jacket titling, especially when a classic, upscale voice is needed.
The overall tone is sophisticated and assertive, combining classic bookish tradition with a fashionable, high-drama sheen. It feels at home in contexts that want elegance and authority without looking ornamental or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading flavor in an italicized, display-leaning style, emphasizing sharp contrast, clean serifs, and a confident, modern editorial rhythm.
The texture is dark and crisp, so it benefits from generous spacing and sizes where the fine hairlines can stay clean. Distinctive ball terminals (notably in forms like f/j and some numerals) add a slightly expressive accent while keeping a conventional serif framework.
