A slanted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that read as finely cut rather than heavy. The italic construction shows smooth, calligraphic curves and tapered joins, with a gently right-leaning rhythm that keeps lines flowing. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase has open counters and a traditional, bookish silhouette; extenders are moderately long and help the face breathe in text. Figures and punctuation follow the same high-contrast, italic logic, with elegant curves and thin hairlines that give a polished, print-oriented texture.
Well suited to editorial layouts, pull quotes, and book typography where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also support refined branding and formal materials such as invitations or programs, especially at text-to-display sizes where the contrast and calligraphic details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, evoking editorial typography, literature, and formal correspondence. Its slanted movement and sharp contrast add a sense of elegance and momentum, suggesting sophistication rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic with a distinctly literary flavor—balancing traditional proportions with crisp, high-contrast detailing to provide an authoritative, elegant companion for editorial and long-form typography.
The italic forms are clearly integral to the design (not merely obliqued), with noticeable entry/exit strokes and a consistent diagonal stress across rounds. Thin horizontals and hairline terminals create a bright page color at larger sizes, while the serifs and modulation keep text feeling traditional and composed.
