This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Letterforms show a calligraphic axis and gently tapered terminals, producing a lively rhythm across text. Capitals are proportionally generous with sharp interior joins, while lowercase forms are compact and slightly narrow, with single-storey a and g and a distinctly cursive, italic construction. Numerals follow the same stress and contrast, with open counters and tapered endings that keep figures light and agile in running settings.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, or refined short passages. It can also work for book typography and literary packaging, and for formal materials such as invitations or announcements where a graceful, traditional tone is desirable.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a classic bookish flavor and a sense of cultivated formality. Its slant and high-contrast strokes introduce motion and refinement, lending a polished, editorial feel rather than a purely utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif reading experience with an expressive italic character—combining classic proportions with calligraphic energy for fluent, polished text composition.
Spacing appears moderately tight in the sample, and the consistent rightward slant creates a smooth, continuous texture across lines. The design maintains clarity despite the contrast by keeping counters open and stroke joins clean, which helps preserve readability in paragraph-sized text.
