A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic stroke logic. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with tapered entry/exit strokes and occasional teardrop-like terminals that give letters a sharpened, inked finish. Curves show angled stress and a slightly compressed, energetic rhythm, while capitals remain formal and structured with crisp horizontals and firm verticals. The overall texture reads dark and dynamic in text, with clear character differentiation and a traditional book-face silhouette.
Well-suited to long-form editorial work such as books, magazines, essays, and literary publishing where a traditional serif voice is desired with added expressive movement. It can also serve well for formal announcements and refined branding applications that benefit from an elegant, italicized presence.
The tone is classic and cultivated, with an editorial elegance that suggests print tradition and careful typesetting. Its lively slant and high-contrast modeling add a sense of drama and sophistication, leaning more literary than utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a more expressive, calligraphy-informed italic character, aiming to provide a classic reading texture while adding personality through tapered terminals, angled stress, and a strong forward slant.
In running text the italic angle is substantial, creating forward motion and a distinctive voice. Numerals and capitals keep the same sharp, tapered detailing, helping headings and emphasized passages feel coherent with body copy rather than like a separate style.
