A slanted serif with moderate stroke modulation and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are tapered and often slightly bracketed, with angled entry/exit strokes that keep the silhouettes lively rather than rigid. Curves show an oblique stress, and junctions (notably in letters like n, m, and h) have a subtle swelling that suggests a pen-influenced construction. Uppercase forms feel steady and formal, while the lowercase is more flowing, with compact ascenders/descenders and energetic diagonals in letters like k, v, w, and x. Numerals are proportionate and readable, echoing the same slanted, serifed construction.
Well-suited for editorial typography where a continuous italic voice is desired, such as magazine features, book interiors, and literary titles. It also fits pull quotes, introductions, captions, and other situations that benefit from a refined, emphatic serif with clear word shapes.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with an editorial elegance that reads as cultivated and slightly dramatic. Its italic cadence adds motion and emphasis, giving text a rhetorical, expressive quality suitable for quotes, headings, and narrative-driven settings.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif interpreted through an italic, pen-influenced lens—aiming to balance readability with a sense of motion and sophistication. It prioritizes a cohesive paragraph texture while providing enough character for prominent editorial use.
The design maintains consistent slant and contrast across cases, creating a cohesive texture in paragraphs. Spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, and the italics are assertive enough to stand alone for display while still retaining a text-serif backbone.
