This typeface is a right-leaning serif with crisp, unbracketed slab terminals that read as small, squared-off feet and caps rather than tapered wedges. Strokes are relatively even and clean, with a steady rhythm and restrained detailing; curves stay smooth while joins remain sharp and controlled. Capitals are tall and elegant with generous interior space, and the lowercase shows a compact body with long, lightly descending tails (notably in g, y, and j). Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with flowing forms and a slightly calligraphic swing that matches the italic stress.
It suits editorial typography such as book interiors, longform articles, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed without becoming overly ornamental. It can also work well for refined branding, cultural programs, and invitations—especially in headings, pull quotes, or short passages that benefit from an elegant, classical slant.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated—more classic and literary than loud or decorative. Its slanted, pen-informed construction adds a sense of motion and sophistication while the square slab serifs keep it grounded and formal. The result feels appropriate for traditional, editorial settings where quiet authority is preferred.
The design appears intended as a cultivated italic with a traditional reading temperament, combining pen-like flow with firm slab terminals for clarity and presence. It aims to provide a distinctive yet disciplined texture that feels at home in print-oriented, literary contexts.
The design balances a delicate, airy texture with firm, rectangular serif accents, creating a distinctive mix of grace and structure. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping paragraphs maintain a cohesive, forward-moving line.
