A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a smooth, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are finely bracketed and taper into sharp terminals, while bowls and curves show a slightly swelling stroke that gives the face a lively, ink-on-paper feel. Proportions read open and generously spaced, with rounded forms kept crisp by tight joins and clean counters; numerals follow the same flowing, angled construction for a cohesive texture in mixed text.
Well suited to editorial typography where an expressive serif italic can carry emphasis, quotes, or lead-ins without losing clarity. It also fits magazine headlines, book covers, and refined promotional materials such as invitations or event programs where a classic, cultivated voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and literary, balancing tradition with a spirited, handwritten energy. Its contrast and sharp finishing details give it a confident, formal presence suited to editorial and cultured branding contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an italic that feels traditionally rooted yet visually animated, leveraging strong contrast and tapered finishing to deliver elegance and emphasis in continuous reading and display settings.
The italic construction is assertive, with noticeable diagonal stress and energetic entry/exit strokes that create a strong forward motion. At larger sizes the tapered serifs and pointed terminals become a defining feature, while in text the design maintains an even, readable color despite the dynamic stroke endings.
