A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The forms lean on old-style proportions: compact lowercase with modest ascenders/descenders, gently tapered stems, and rounded bowls that transition smoothly into hairline joins. Terminals often finish in small teardrop or wedge-like shapes, giving strokes a subtly calligraphic exit. Capitals are broad and stately with sharp, clean serifs, while the numerals and punctuation maintain the same high-contrast rhythm and angled stress for a cohesive texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazine features, book typography, and essay or review layouts—where a refined italic voice is desirable. It also works effectively for pull quotes, headers that need classical sophistication, and formal materials such as programs, invitations, or brand collateral that aims for a traditional, cultivated tone.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a refined, bookish polish. Its energetic slant and calligraphic terminals add warmth and motion, while the sharp contrast and disciplined serifing keep it formal and editorial.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic with a classical foundation and a distinctly calligraphic finish. Its goal seems to be delivering an elegant, traditional text texture while adding expressive movement through high contrast and carefully shaped terminals.
The italic angle is evident across both cases and figures, creating forward momentum that reads as expressive without becoming decorative. Tight internal counters in letters like a, e, and s and the compact x-height suggest it benefits from comfortable sizes and slightly open tracking in longer passages.
