A slanted serif with strong stroke modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic rhythm: tapered entry and exit strokes, pronounced diagonals, and rounded bowls with sharp, well-defined terminals. Proportions feel traditionally bookish with a moderate x-height, compact lowercase, and slightly generous capitals; spacing reads even in text while maintaining a lively, varied texture. Numerals follow the same italicized, oldstyle-influenced flow, with curved forms and pronounced contrast.
This font suits editorial headlines, magazine features, book and journal titling, and pull quotes where a classic italic voice is desired. It can also work for formal invitations or branding that benefits from a traditional, high-contrast serif texture, especially at medium to large sizes where its modulation and detailing are most apparent.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a formal, editorial presence. Its energetic italic construction and sharp contrast give it a dramatic, refined voice suitable for authoritative, cultured messaging rather than casual interfaces.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif italic with a pronounced, calligraphic cadence—combining strong hierarchy in capitals with a fluid, expressive lowercase for sophisticated typographic emphasis.
The design leans on expressive italic conventions—noticeably in forms like the single-storey italic-style lowercase and the flowing shapes of r, f, and j—while keeping counters open enough for continuous reading. The uppercase remains sturdy and emphatic, creating strong hierarchy when mixed with the more animated lowercase.
