This is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Letterforms show bracketed serifs, tapered strokes, and angled entry/exit terminals that create lively, sweeping contours, especially in the lowercase. Counters are moderately open, curves carry a diagonal stress, and the overall color stays crisp despite the contrast, giving the text a refined, slightly dramatic texture. Numerals follow the same italicized, high-contrast construction with smooth curves and sharp finishing strokes.
It performs well in editorial contexts such as magazines, book interiors with generous sizing, and display applications like headlines and pull quotes where its contrast and slant can be appreciated. It can also suit formal printed materials—programs, invitations, and announcements—where a classic serif voice is appropriate.
The font conveys a cultured, editorial tone—polished and traditional with a touch of theatrical flair from the strong contrast and energetic slant. It feels suited to classic, literary settings where a sense of sophistication and motion is desirable.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with an italicized, calligraphy-informed energy—combining traditional proportions with sharper, more expressive terminals to add elegance and emphasis in text and display settings.
Uppercase forms read stately and stable, while the lowercase introduces more personality through angled terminals and brisk curves, producing a dynamic line feel. The sample text shows confident word shapes and a clear, consistent rhythm that emphasizes elegance over neutrality.
