A high-contrast serif with an italic posture and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes taper into sharp, bracketed serifs and wedge-like terminals, with clear thick–thin modulation and diagonal stress, especially evident in the lowercase. Proportions feel moderately traditional with a normal x-height, open counters, and subtly variable character widths that create a natural reading texture. Numerals and capitals are crisp and formal, while the lowercase introduces more movement through curved joins and angled entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. The italic, high-contrast construction also makes it effective for quotations, pull quotes, and emphasized passages, and it can add sophistication to magazine headlines and refined branding copy.
The overall tone is literary and refined, combining a formal, bookish foundation with a touch of expressive italic energy. It reads as classic and cultured rather than mechanical, lending text an elegant, editorial voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a distinctly italic, calligraphy-informed flavor—balancing readability with elegant contrast and traditional detailing. Its forms suggest a goal of producing an authoritative, classic impression while keeping the texture lively and expressive.
In running text, the italic slant and pronounced contrast produce a strong texture and clear emphasis, with especially distinctive shapes in letters like a, g, f, and y. At larger sizes the sharp terminals and tapered strokes become a defining feature, giving headings a polished, traditional character.
