A slanted serif with sturdy, slab-like terminals and subtly bracketed joins, combining crisp horizontals with gently tapered, calligraphic curves. The capitals are broad and evenly paced with pronounced feet and strong top serifs, while the lowercase shows a lively italic construction with single-storey forms and flowing entry/exit strokes. Contrast is moderate, with rounded bowls and open apertures keeping the texture clear at text sizes, and the numerals follow the same angled rhythm with compact, stable shapes.
It works well for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and essays where an italic voice is needed for emphasis while staying highly readable. The strong serif structure also supports short headlines, pull quotes, and refined packaging or branding applications that benefit from a classic, print-oriented texture.
The overall tone feels editorial and literary—refined and traditional, yet energetic due to the italic movement. It reads as confident and slightly formal, suited to work that wants a classic voice without becoming overly delicate or ornamental.
The design appears intended to merge an italic’s dynamic, handwritten-derived movement with the stability and presence of slab-like serifs, creating a legible, traditional text face that still feels expressive. It balances sturdy terminals and clear counters to maintain clarity in continuous reading while offering a distinctive editorial character.
Serifs remain visually firm across the set, helping maintain a consistent baseline and giving the italic a grounded, print-like presence. The italic angle is noticeable but controlled, producing a smooth line of text and a rhythmic, slightly calligraphic flow in longer passages.
