A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered stroke endings. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with a calligraphic feel that shows in the angled terminals and subtly modulated curves. Capitals read sturdy and slightly condensed in color, while the lowercase has a lively rhythm with rounded bowls, a single-storey italic-style “a,” and a distinctive, flowing “f” and “g.” Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast construction with open counters and tapered entries and exits.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an expressive serif italic is desirable—magazine features, book interiors for emphasis, introductions, and pull quotes. It can also serve for refined branding, packaging, or titles when a classic, high-contrast texture is wanted.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a confident, slightly dramatic italic voice. It suggests refinement and authority, but the energetic slant and calligraphic taper keep it from feeling static or purely academic.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with a distinctly italic, calligraphy-informed construction, balancing formal elegance with lively movement for readable, expressive composition.
In text, the strong contrast and pointed joins create crisp word shapes and a pronounced texture, especially in mixed case. The italic construction is consistent across letters and figures, giving headlines and emphasized passages a cohesive, expressive look.
