This typeface is a slanted serif with moderate stroke modulation and finely tapered terminals. Serifs are mostly bracketed and delicately pointed, with a calligraphic rhythm that shows in the curved joins and the forward-leaning stress. Proportions feel open and slightly extended, giving counters room to breathe, while curves remain smooth and controlled. The lowercase has a traditional texture with a modest x-height and lively ascenders/descenders; the italic forms include single-storey shapes such as the “a,” along with gently hooked entry and exit strokes. Numerals follow the same graceful, serifed construction, with subtle thick–thin transitions and rounded bowls.
It performs well for continuous reading in books and long-form editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, citations, or pull quotes. The open proportions also make it suitable for refined titles, introductions, and cultural or academic publishing contexts.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a poised, cultured feel suited to established editorial settings. Its slant and tapered details add a sense of motion and sophistication without becoming ornate, suggesting a calm, traditional elegance.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an italic character that emphasizes traditional calligraphic construction, balancing elegance with steady readability. Its detailing prioritizes a polished page texture and a familiar, trustworthy typographic voice.
In text, the face maintains a consistent diagonal flow and a smooth baseline rhythm, with clear differentiation between similar forms through varied terminals and serif shapes. The italics are expressive but restrained, aiming for readability rather than display-level flourish.
