A serif text face with a pronounced rightward slant and strong thick–thin modulation. Stems and joins show a subtly calligraphic construction, with braced, slightly flared stroke endings that read as softened serifs rather than rigid slabs. Bowls are generous and open, counters stay clear at text sizes, and curves carry a diagonal stress that gives the shapes a lively, hand-inked rhythm. The overall proportions lean expansive in width, with steady spacing and a consistent, flowing texture across mixed case and figures.
This style works well for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where the slanted, high-contrast rhythm can add sophistication without losing clarity. It also suits refined branding, invitations, and packaging that benefits from a classic serif voice with a touch of movement.
The tone is traditional and bookish, with an editorial seriousness softened by the italic movement and gently flared finish. It feels crafted and human rather than mechanical, lending a refined, slightly romantic character that suits narrative and cultured contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience infused with italic energy and subtle flaring at terminals, creating an elegant, calligraphy-informed texture that remains suitable for continuous text.
Uppercase forms keep a dignified presence while remaining fluid, and the lowercase shows distinctly oldstyle behavior with expressive bowls and angled entry/exit strokes. Numerals appear similarly lively and text-oriented, matching the italic cadence rather than feeling like standalone display figures.
