A slanted serif design with tapered, subtly flared stroke endings and a calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with smooth transitions, and the serifs behave more like shaped terminals than flat slabs, often sweeping into pointed or curved finishes. Letterforms are compact and upright in structure but consistently inclined, with crisp joins, oval counters, and a refined, slightly sculpted silhouette across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book jackets, and pull quotes where an expressive italic voice is desired. It can also work for formal collateral—programs, invitations, and refined brand wordmarks—especially when set at display or comfortable text sizes where the tapered detailing remains clear.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with an italic energy that feels literary and slightly ceremonial. Its sharp, swept terminals add a touch of drama while maintaining a composed, editorial seriousness.
The design appears intended to provide an elegant italic with strong traditional roots, balancing readability with expressive, flared terminals and controlled contrast. It aims to deliver a distinctive, polished texture in both headings and continuous text.
Capitals read with a classical, inscriptional flavor, while the lowercase carries a more handwritten italic movement, producing a dynamic texture in paragraphs. Numerals and punctuation match the same tapered, serifed logic, keeping the set visually cohesive in running text.
