A slanted serif with sharply modulated strokes and pronounced thick–thin contrast, giving the letters a crisp, cut-in feel. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with tapered terminals and occasional ball/teardrop endings on forms like the lowercase f and some numerals. The capitals are tall and relatively restrained in width, with smooth, classical proportions and a consistent diagonal stress across rounded shapes. Lowercase forms show a compact rhythm with a modest x-height, narrow apertures, and lively italic construction—especially in the single-storey a and g and the long, curved descenders.
Well-suited to editorial typography, pull quotes, and book or magazine settings where an italic voice is needed with authority and finesse. It also fits formal communications such as invitations, announcements, and refined branding lines, especially at display or subhead sizes where its contrast and tapered details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, suggesting bookish sophistication rather than casual friendliness. Its strong contrast and sweeping italic cadence add a sense of drama and formality, evoking editorial and literary contexts. The texture feels poised and upscale, suited to refined messaging.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic serif with a calligraphic underpinning and a distinctly refined, high-contrast profile. It prioritizes elegance and expressive emphasis—an italic that can carry long-form reading while still feeling distinctive and elevated.
The numerals follow the same elegant modulation and italic slant, with noticeable variation in width (a broader 0 and 8 versus more tapered figures). Curves are smooth and continuous, while joins and hairlines stay sharp, producing a clean, high-end color in larger sizes. Spacing appears moderately tight, reinforcing a compact, composed flow in text.
