This is a slanted serif with a calligraphic, slightly flared construction and brisk, tapered terminals. Strokes show a modest contrast with clear thick–thin transitions, while the serifs and stroke endings sharpen into wedge-like points that help define the rhythm. The letterforms feel gently condensed in their internal spacing, with open bowls and counters that keep the texture from getting muddy in paragraphs. Curves are smooth and rounded, but joins and terminals are crisp, giving the design a lively, cut-on-the-diagonal look across both capitals and lowercase.
It performs well in editorial settings where an italic serif is used for emphasis, pull quotes, or expressive subheads, and it can also carry longer passages when a traditional, bookish texture is desired. The crisp terminals make it particularly effective for literary titles, classical-themed materials, and refined print pieces where a formal but energetic voice is appropriate.
The tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography with a confident, editorial voice. Its slant and pointed finishing strokes add energy and emphasis, lending a refined, slightly dramatic character without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif italic with a pronounced, tapered finish and a lively writing-derived rhythm. Its goal seems to be balancing legibility and classic proportions with sharper, flared endings that add character and momentum in running text.
Capitals have strong presence and clear silhouettes, especially in round forms like C/O and the broad, angular diagonals of V/W/X. The numerals follow the same italic, tapered logic, reading cleanly with noticeable elegance in curved figures such as 3, 5, and 9.
