An italic serif with a pronounced forward slant and a calligraphic, sheared construction. Stems and joins broaden into softly flared terminals that read as wedge-like, bracketed serifs rather than crisp slabs, giving strokes a gently sculpted finish. The contrast is moderate, with thickened diagonals and tapered entry/exit strokes that create a lively rhythm without becoming delicate. Counters are generally open and rounded, while capitals show strong, classical proportions and sweeping curves; figures appear lining with similarly flared terminals and smooth modulation.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or subheads. It also works effectively for literary or heritage-leaning branding, packaging copy, and pull quotes where a refined, dynamic serif texture is desirable.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking bookish refinement and editorial authority. Its energetic italic movement adds a sense of motion and emphasis, making it feel expressive yet controlled rather than casual or quirky.
The design appears intended as a versatile italic serif that combines classical proportions with subtly flared, calligraphy-informed terminals to add warmth and momentum. It aims to deliver a polished, authoritative reading texture while providing expressive emphasis in display and editorial contexts.
Spacing and letterfit appear comfortable for continuous reading, and the slanted stress along with tapered terminals helps maintain clarity in dense text. The design balances sturdy stems with brisk hairline-like joins, producing a crisp texture at larger sizes while remaining readable in paragraph settings.
