This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a smooth, calligraphic flow. Strokes show tapered entries and exits, with bracketed wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. The uppercase has classical proportions and open counters, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with a gently curving baseline feel and moderate extenders. Overall spacing reads even and text-ready, with the italic angle and contrast doing most of the expressive work.
Well suited to editorial settings such as books, long-form articles, and magazine typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis with a classic feel. It can also serve refined branding, packaging, and formal invitations when a traditional, elevated serif tone is desired.
The tone is traditional and refined, evoking book typography and editorial seriousness. Its lively slant and crisp contrast add a sense of sophistication and motion without becoming decorative. The overall impression is cultured, authoritative, and quietly elegant.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a distinctly classical, high-contrast character. It aims to provide an elegant companion style for extended text, offering emphasis and hierarchy while maintaining a cohesive, bookish texture.
Figures appear similarly slanted and high-contrast, matching the letterforms’ tapered terminals and serif treatment. The design favors smooth joins and subtle curvature over sharp, rigid geometry, giving paragraphs a continuous, slightly calligraphic texture.
