A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a lively, calligraphic bias: rounded forms lean forward, diagonals are energetic, and terminals often finish in sharp, tapered points. Capitals are stately with generous curves and slightly flared joins, while lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact counters and assertive entry/exit strokes. Numerals appear sturdy and legible, with clear weight concentration on the main stems and neatly cut interior spaces.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and short-form editorial text where contrast and italic energy can carry hierarchy and emphasis. It would also work effectively for book-cover titling, magazine features, and pull quotes where a classic serif voice is desired with added motion.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a confident, slightly theatrical presence. Its strong contrast and forward motion create a sense of sophistication suited to classic, editorial typography rather than a purely utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif structure with a distinctly italic, calligraphic drive—balancing formal proportions with sharp, high-contrast detailing for strong presence in editorial settings.
In text, the slant and contrast produce a clear diagonal flow, and the spacing reads comfortably at display-to-subhead sizes. Rounded letters (like o/c/e) and the s-curve forms show a consistent stress, which helps the face feel cohesive across mixed-case settings.
