A right-leaning serif with compact proportions and a steady, low-contrast stroke. Stems and diagonals taper and subtly flare into pointed, wedge-like terminals, creating a crisp, chiseled finish rather than blunt slab endings. Curves are smooth and slightly compressed, counters stay relatively open, and joins are clean with minimal modulation. Overall spacing feels tight and efficient, with an energetic rhythm driven by the consistent slant and the sharp, tapered terminals.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazine features, book interiors, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It can also serve effectively for refined headlines and pull quotes, adding motion and sophistication without heavy contrast. The compact footprint supports tight layouts and dense settings.
The font reads as poised and literary, combining a traditional serif voice with a lively italic cadence. Its pointed terminals and controlled flare add a touch of elegance and urgency, suggesting editorial sophistication rather than casual handwriting. The tone is formal and polished, suited to designs that want movement without becoming decorative.
Likely designed as a workmanlike italic serif that balances readability with a distinctive, tapered terminal signature. The consistent slant, low contrast, and restrained detailing suggest an emphasis on dependable text performance while still offering a recognizable, slightly calligraphic edge for editorial use.
Capitals maintain a restrained, classical construction while retaining the same wedge-terminal language, and the numerals follow the same italicized flow with clear, angular stress. The overall color is even at text sizes, with the sharp terminals contributing definition and a slightly incisive texture on the line.
