A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes show a lively, calligraphy-informed rhythm: diagonals and curves swell and taper with clear entry/exit strokes, and many terminals finish in subtle hooks or teardrop-like ends. Proportions are moderately narrow overall, with compact counters and an energetic italic flow; capitals are clean and slightly restrained, while lowercase forms show more movement and cursive influence. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, angled construction, with a mix of open curves and sharp joins that keep the texture lively in setting.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book interiors and chapter openings, and literary or cultural titles where an elegant italic voice is desirable. It can also work for formal stationery and invitations, as well as branding applications that need a refined, traditional serif with a touch of calligraphic flair.
The font reads as traditional and cultivated, with a bookish, editorial tone that feels at home in formal or heritage contexts. Its italic motion and sharp contrast add a sense of sophistication and momentum, giving text a confident, expressive voice without tipping into overt display ornamentation.
Likely designed to provide a conventional serif reading experience enriched by an expressive italic structure and high-contrast detailing, balancing traditional text manners with a more animated, handwritten-like cadence.
In continuous text, the strong contrast and pointed details create a sparkling page color, especially at larger sizes. The italic angle is consistent and the serif treatment remains coherent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, helping maintain a unified texture despite the lively terminals and swash-like hooks on select letters.
