This is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes taper into pointed terminals and subtle flares, with bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than blunt. The curves are smooth and slightly elliptical, counters stay open, and joins are clean, giving the design a crisp rhythm despite its expressive slant. Proportions feel traditional with a moderate x-height, while the italic forms show lively entry/exit strokes and varied stroke endings that add texture in running text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is desirable. It also works effectively for invitations, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a refined, classical tone, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a sense of old-world refinement. Its energetic italic movement reads as cultured and expressive rather than casual, lending an elevated voice to headlines and longer passages alike.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic with calligraphic nuance, combining traditional serif structure with flared, tapered stroke endings to create a dynamic, premium texture in both display and text use.
In text, the strong contrast and tapered terminals create a shimmering texture and clear word shapes, while the wide, sweeping capitals add a formal, editorial presence. The numerals follow the same elegant, stroke-led logic, pairing well with the letterforms in display settings.
