A slanted serif design with a distinctly calligraphic rhythm and moderate stroke modulation. Stems taper into bracketed serifs, and curves show diagonal stress that gives rounds a lively, slightly asymmetric flow. Proportions are traditional and text-oriented, with open counters and a measured, bookish color; capitals feel dignified and restrained while lowercase forms keep a smooth, continuous italic movement. Numerals match the text tone with the same tapered terminals and steady baseline alignment.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts. It also works effectively for pull quotes, captions, and refined brand or cultural communications where an elegant italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting refinement and tradition rather than display eccentricity. Its italic motion adds a sense of sophistication and forward energy that feels appropriate for cultured, editorial settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, dependable text serif with an expressive italic character—balancing readability with a classical, calligraphy-informed texture for continuous typography.
The slant is consistent across cases and figures, and the spacing in running text appears even, supporting sustained reading. The design favors smooth joins and gently sharpened terminals over rigid geometry, reinforcing an old-style, humanist impression.
