A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic axis with tapered joins and subtly flared terminals, giving counters a slightly oval, flowing feel. Proportions are compact and vertically oriented, with a steady rhythm and tight letterfit that keeps text cohesive. Uppercase forms are stately and traditional, while lowercase shows lively italics with single-storey shapes and long, graceful extenders.
Well suited to editorial typography where an expressive italic voice is needed: book interiors, magazine features, essays, pull quotes, and refined headings. It can also serve in invitations or formal communication where a classic, cultured tone is desired, particularly at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is cultivated and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and refined commentary. Its sharp contrast and energetic italic movement add a sense of drama and sophistication without becoming ornamental.
This design appears intended as a traditional text serif italic with a strong calligraphic underpinning, prioritizing elegance and a recognizable print-like texture. The emphasis on high contrast, bracketed serifs, and flowing italic forms suggests a focus on comfortable long-form reading with elevated, editorial character.
In longer lines the strong diagonal stress and pointed entry/exit strokes create a distinctive texture, especially around letters with curved bowls and sweeping diagonals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and feel suited to running text rather than utilitarian tabular settings.
