A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and smooth, calligraphic stroke transitions. Stems and terminals taper and subtly flare, with gently bracketed serifs and sharp, clean joins that keep the outlines crisp. Proportions feel open and slightly extended, with generous sidebearings and a steady rhythm across text; curves are broad and controlled, and counters stay clear even at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic, with distinctive curved forms and tapered terminals.
Best suited for editorial typography such as magazine features, cultural publishing, and book jackets where an elegant italic can carry tone and hierarchy. It also works well for fashion and lifestyle branding, pull quotes, and display lines that benefit from a refined, high-contrast serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining editorial sophistication with a hint of old-style warmth. Its italic posture and refined contrast give it a confident, cultured voice suited to expressive, high-end typography rather than utilitarian text.
Likely intended as a sophisticated italic serif for expressive reading environments, balancing classic letterform cues with a clean, contemporary finish. The tapered, flared endings and controlled contrast suggest an aim to deliver elegance and movement while maintaining clarity in text settings.
The design shows consistent diagonal stress and a noticeable liveliness in the lowercase, especially in letters with sweeping entry/exit strokes. Capitals feel poised and formal, while the italic lowercase adds motion and a slightly conversational texture in running text.
