A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and compact, with a distinctly calligraphic stroke flow that shows in the angled stress and the way curves swell into hairlines. Proportions feel open and slightly expanded, with generous sidebearings and a steady baseline rhythm. The lowercase is smooth and legible, while capitals are crisp and poised, giving the design a polished, traditional texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, essays, and pull quotes where an expressive serif italic can carry voice. It also fits refined branding, invitations, and cultural or academic materials that benefit from a traditional, polished tone.
The overall tone is classic and cultured, with an editorial elegance that reads as literary and established rather than trendy. Its energetic italic movement adds warmth and sophistication, suggesting tradition, ceremony, and careful craft.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif italic with strong contrast and a calligraphic undercurrent, balancing readability with a distinctly elegant flavor. It aims to deliver an authoritative, classical voice that remains lively in continuous reading and persuasive in emphasis.
Detailing stays clean at display sizes: hairlines are fine, joins are tidy, and the slant is consistent across letters and numerals. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic as the letters, keeping the texture cohesive when mixing text and numbers.
