This is a slanted serif with sharp, finely tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are small and bracketed, with crisp terminals and a generally pointed, pen-like finish on many forms. The letterforms show a moderate cap height and a balanced, traditional set of proportions, while the italic construction introduces flowing joins and a subtle forward momentum. Numerals and capitals keep a composed, classical structure, and the overall rhythm is even and text-oriented despite the lively contrast.
Well-suited to editorial and book typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or captions with a classic feel. It also fits refined branding, cultural materials, and formal stationery where a traditional, elegant serif texture is desired.
The font conveys a polished, literary tone with a sense of tradition and formality. Its calligraphic slant and high-contrast modeling add sophistication and a touch of drama, suggesting careful editorial craft rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic edge—combining classical proportions with crisp, high-contrast shaping to provide an expressive but controlled typographic voice for continuous text.
In running text, the narrow joins and sharp entry/exit strokes create a continuous, energetic line, while the restrained serif treatment prevents the texture from becoming overly ornamental. The overall color stays clean and airy, with clear differentiation between straight strokes and curved bowls that helps maintain clarity at typical text sizes.
