This typeface is a slanted serif with compact proportions and a steady, low-contrast stroke. Stems and diagonals taper subtly into flared, bracketed terminals, giving the outlines a gently calligraphic edge without becoming cursive. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is even, with slightly sharpened joins and modest modulation that keeps forms crisp at text sizes. Uppercase construction feels disciplined and condensed, while the lowercase shows a lively slant and clear, open apertures in letters like e and c.
It works well for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and essay-like content where a traditional serif voice is desired with added movement. The compact width and crisp detailing also make it effective for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where space efficiency and a refined italic texture are beneficial.
The overall tone is literary and editorial, combining a classic serif presence with forward motion from the slant. It reads as polished and traditional, but not static—suited to settings that want a hint of elegance and momentum rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended as a readable italic with a slightly calligraphic, flared-terminal character—aiming to deliver classic serif credibility while keeping the page color energetic and tight. It balances restraint and personality, suggesting a role as an expressive companion for text and display editorial settings.
Figures follow the same italicized, compact stance and maintain consistent stroke behavior across curves and diagonals. The flared terminals and subtle tapering are especially noticeable on letters like f, r, y, and on the diagonal strokes of v/w, which adds a distinctive finish compared to standard text italics.
