This is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic, slightly brush-like flow with tapered terminals and subtle entry/exit strokes, producing a lively rhythm rather than rigid geometry. Proportions are moderately condensed in places with clear variation across letters, and the overall texture reads smooth and continuous in paragraph settings. Figures follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic, with curved forms and angled stress that integrate well with text.
Well suited to book typography, magazine layouts, and other editorial contexts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, commentary, or display. It also works for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials such as programs or invitations where a classic, high-contrast serif impression is desired.
The font conveys a cultured, literary tone with an understated sense of luxury. Its italic movement and sharp contrast feel expressive and traditional, suggesting editorial sophistication rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to provide an expressive, traditional italic for text and display, combining classical serif structure with a more fluid, calligraphic stroke to add elegance and motion without sacrificing readability.
In longer text the italic angle and contrast create a distinctly animated line, while the serifs remain controlled and consistent. The design favors elegant word shapes and recognizable classical forms over strict mechanical uniformity.
