A slanted serif with pronounced contrast between thick stems and hairline joins, combining crisp wedge-like terminals with bracketed serifs. The letterforms feel slightly expanded, with generous horizontal proportions and open counters that keep the texture airy. Strokes show a calligraphic influence: entry/exit strokes and inner joins taper smoothly, and many lowercase forms have gentle, flowing curves. Overall rhythm is even and readable, with sharp apexes on v/w/x and a confident, slightly theatrical italic stance.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interior emphasis, and refined headlines where the italic voice can carry tone. It also fits formal materials like invitations or branding applications that want a classic serif with a lively, calligraphic edge.
The font conveys a traditional, cultivated tone—polished and literary, with an energetic italic sweep that adds personality. It feels suited to formal communication and editorial storytelling, balancing elegance with a hint of drama.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif interpreted through an italic, calligraphy-informed lens, aiming for strong readability while adding a distinctive, elegant slant and high-contrast sparkle in print-like settings.
Capitals are sturdy and classical, while the lowercase introduces more motion through tapered joins and italic-style construction. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, reading clearly and maintaining the refined, print-oriented texture across mixed content.
