A slanted, high-contrast roman with crisp hairlines and fuller main strokes, giving the letterforms a polished, pen-like rhythm. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, with narrow joins and tapered terminals that stay clean rather than ornamental. The capitals feel stately and open, with ample counters (notably in C, O, and Q) and a slightly calligraphic stress. Lowercase forms show a compact, controlled construction with clear bowls and relatively short ascenders/descenders for the style; the figures follow the same contrast pattern with sharp, angled entry/exit strokes.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, pull quotes, and book titling where contrast and a polished slant can carry a premium tone. It also fits refined branding and packaging, event materials, and invitations that benefit from an elegant, classical texture. For best results, it will read most confidently at medium-to-large sizes where the fine strokes can stay crisp.
The overall tone is sophisticated and literary, conveying a sense of tradition and careful craft without feeling overly decorative. Its slant and contrast add motion and tactility, suggesting cultured, editorial confidence and a subtle formal voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, streamlined take on an elegant italic voice—prioritizing contrast, smooth curvature, and a composed text rhythm for sophisticated display and editorial use.
Spacing appears even and comfortable in running text, helping the delicate hairlines avoid looking brittle at display sizes. The slanted diagonals in letters like v, w, x, and y add a lively cadence, while the numerals maintain a consistent, refined texture alongside the letters.
