A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, clean terminals. The forms show bracketed serifs and a calligraphic construction, with narrow joins, tapered strokes, and rounded bowls that keep the rhythm lively. Proportions are relatively tall, with compact counters and an overall upright, vertical emphasis despite the italic angle. Numerals and capitals carry the same high-contrast logic, with smooth curves and delicate hairlines that contribute to a polished texture in text.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and refined brand work where an italic serif voice is desired. It can also perform as a display italic for headlines, pull quotes, invitations, and packaging, particularly at sizes where the thin strokes remain clear.
The overall tone feels elegant and literary, evoking classic book typography and fashion/editorial styling. Its crisp hairlines and flowing italics suggest sophistication and formality, with a slightly dramatic, boutique character.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a strong classical foundation, aiming for a refined reading texture while retaining enough calligraphic motion to stand out in editorial and brand contexts.
In continuous text the spacing reads even and the stroke contrast creates a distinctly shimmering line, especially in diagonals and curved letters. Some characters show expressive italic details—such as curved entry/exit strokes and distinctive tails—that add personality without breaking consistency.
