A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke flow. Curves are round and open with moderate thick–thin modulation, while many terminals finish in small, angled wedges or tapered hooks that give the forms a lively, slightly hand-cut feel. Proportions read fairly traditional, with steady spacing and a smooth text rhythm; details like the curved leg of R, the lively tail on Q, and the diagonal energy in K, V, W, and y reinforce an animated, editorial texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine articles where a classic serif voice is desired with added motion and personality. It also works effectively for pull quotes, titles, and elegant printed materials that benefit from an italic, literary tone.
The overall tone feels literary and cultivated, suggesting classic book typography with a more expressive, humanist sparkle than a purely formal oldstyle. It carries an academic, slightly nostalgic character that can read as tasteful and traditional while still feeling personable and dynamic.
The design appears intended as a text-capable italic serif that blends traditional bookish proportions with expressive, calligraphy-influenced terminals to create warmth and momentum without becoming overly ornate.
In running text, the slant and tapered terminals create continuous forward motion, while the moderate contrast keeps it comfortable at paragraph sizes. Numerals share the same italicized, text-oriented construction, helping mixed text and figures feel cohesive.
