A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic, diagonal-stress feel, with tapered joins and sharp, clean terminals that stay controlled rather than ornate. Proportions run on the generous side with open counters and a steady baseline rhythm, while the slant and contrast create lively texture in continuous text.
This face is well suited to editorial design—magazine typography, book interiors, and cultured headlines where an italic serif texture is desired. It can also serve in formal materials such as invitations or programs, and works effectively for pull quotes or emphasis within longer passages when you want a more expressive, refined voice.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, evoking printed editorial typography and literary publishing. Its brisk italic energy feels articulate and slightly dramatic without becoming flamboyant, giving it a poised, persuasive voice suited to formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an energetic italic stance, balancing readability with a polished, print-oriented finish. It emphasizes classic proportions and calligraphic contrast to deliver an authoritative yet elegant typographic color.
Curves are smoothly drawn and the contrast is consistent across rounds and diagonals, helping the alphabet feel cohesive. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic and read as elegant rather than mechanical, reinforcing a classic text-family personality.
