A slanted serif with a calligraphic construction and a lively, slightly uneven rhythm. Strokes show clear modulation and tapered joins, with bracketed serifs that often end in pointed, forked, or spurred terminals. Capitals are narrow and upright in stance despite the slant, with sharp entry strokes and occasional decorative flicks; lowercase forms are compact with a short x-height, pronounced ascenders, and teardrop-like terminals. The figures echo the same italicized, serifed treatment, keeping consistent stroke logic and crisp, pointed finishing details.
Works well for editorial typography where an italic serif is used for emphasis or for entire passages that benefit from a traditional, elegant texture. It can also support refined branding, invitations, and packaging that want a classic voice with characterful terminal details.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography with a touch of ornamental flair. Its angled posture and spurred terminals lend a cultivated, slightly dramatic voice suited to formal or historically tinged settings without becoming overly ornate.
Likely designed to deliver a bookish, traditional italic with recognizable calligraphic cues and distinctive spurred terminals, balancing readability with a more expressive, historically resonant silhouette.
Spacing and letterfit read as relatively tight and rhythmic, with distinctive silhouettes created by the forked/spurred ends on letters like v, w, and y and by the sharp, angled serifs on many stems. The italic angle is steady, and the contrast is strong enough to feel elegant while remaining robust in continuous text.
