A slanted serif with lively, calligraphic construction and subtly flared stroke endings that read as wedge-like serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions into terminals, and the joins feel slightly soft and pen-driven rather than purely geometric. The lowercase has a compact, traditional texture with a single-storey a and g, a gently hooked f, and a right-leaning rhythm that stays consistent across words. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feel, with crisp, tapered serifs and a controlled, classical proportioning that pairs cleanly with the italic movement.
This font is well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis and tonal contrast. It can also serve effectively in pull quotes, introductions, and subheads that benefit from a refined, classical texture without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone is bookish and cultured, suggesting tradition and credibility without feeling overly ornate. Its italic energy adds a sense of motion and emphasis, making it feel suitable for elegant narration, quotations, and expressive editorial moments.
The design appears intended to provide an expressive italic serif with a traditional literary flavor, combining moderate contrast and pen-influenced shaping with disciplined proportions. The flared endings and wedge-like serifs aim to keep forms crisp and legible while adding a distinctive, elegant cadence in running text.
The numerals and caps carry the same tapered, flared finishing, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive. The slant is assertive but controlled, and the letterforms maintain a steady baseline and even spacing that supports continuous reading at text sizes.
