A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a gently calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are tapered and bracketed, with sharp entry strokes and flowing exits that keep counters open despite the contrast. Proportions feel classical, with relatively small lowercase bodies against tall ascenders and a prominent italic movement through curved forms. The overall texture is elegant and slightly irregular in a human way, with subtly varied stroke endings and a lively baseline presence.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine layouts where an italic serif voice is desired for continuous text. It also fits refined invitations, packaging, and literary or cultural branding that benefits from a traditional, crafted impression.
The tone is bookish and cultivated, suggesting traditional printing and editorial polish. Its energetic slant and crisp terminals add a sense of motion and sophistication without becoming flamboyant.
Likely designed to evoke classical old-style typography through an italic, calligraphy-informed structure, balancing readability with a refined, expressive cadence. The intent appears to be an elegant text face that can carry sustained paragraphs while still signaling tradition and taste.
Uppercase letters read with stately restraint while the lowercase shows more personality, especially in the curved letters and the long, angled joins. Numerals appear text-friendly and consistent with the serif detailing, keeping the same sharp, tapered finishing throughout.
