A slanted serif with a pronounced calligraphic axis and crisp, high-contrast modulation. Serifs are compact and often bracketted, with tapered entries and exits that sharpen into pointed terminals in places, giving strokes a lively, carved feel. Uppercase forms are sturdy and slightly narrow in presence, while the lowercase shows flowing joins, a single-storey “g,” and teardrop/ball-like terminals on letters such as “a” and “f.” Numerals read as oldstyle figures with varying heights and descenders, reinforcing a text-oriented, traditional construction.
This font suits editorial typography where an italic voice needs to carry emphasis with authority—pull quotes, introductions, and literary titling. Its strong contrast and animated strokes also work well for formal invitations and short-to-medium text settings where a classic, expressive tone is desired.
The overall tone is cultivated and bookish, combining formality with an energetic, handwritten italic flavor. It suggests heritage publishing and refined correspondence—confident, expressive, and slightly dramatic without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a traditional, text-driven italic that delivers clear emphasis and a distinctly classical color on the page. By pairing strong contrast with compact serifs and expressive terminals, it aims to read as refined and authoritative while retaining a lively, pen-informed character.
The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the texture forms a strong, rhythmic pattern in paragraph settings. Rounded counters and generous curves soften the otherwise sharp stroke endings, helping the face feel inviting rather than severe.
