A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and broad, generously spaced letterforms. The strokes show sharp modulation between thick stems and hairline joins, with clean, tapered terminals and small bracketed serifs that often flare into wedge-like endings. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, and the overall rhythm feels open due to the wide set and relatively large interior counters. Uppercase forms read stately and measured, while lowercase maintains an energetic, pen-informed flow; numerals follow the same crisp contrast and angled stress.
Well suited to editorial headlines, book and chapter titling, and magazine layouts where contrast and a cultivated tone are desirable. It can also work for formal branding and invitations, especially at sizes where the fine hairlines remain clear.
The font projects a polished, bookish elegance with a slightly dramatic, cultivated tone. Its slanted, high-contrast shapes suggest tradition and refinement rather than neutrality, giving text a distinctly editorial, literary voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, literary serif voice with a more expressive, calligraphic slant, balancing traditional serif structure with heightened contrast and expansive proportions for added presence.
The combination of broad proportions and hairline details makes the design visually striking, with strong horizontal presence and airy word shapes. The italic angle is integral to the design rather than a simple slant, reinforcing a handwritten, calligraphic sensibility.
