A slanted, serifed design with calligraphic construction and crisp, wedge-like terminals. Strokes show clear modulation, with gently swelling curves and sharper joins that create a lively rhythm. The capitals are broad and slightly formal, while the lowercase keeps a steady x-height and open counters; ascenders are tall and the italic slant is consistent across letters and figures. Numerals follow the same angled, tapered logic, with old-style-like movement and varying widths that contribute to a natural, text-forward texture.
This font suits editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where an italic voice is central. It also performs well for pull quotes, headlines, and identity work that benefits from a refined, classic slanted style with visible calligraphic character.
The overall tone feels editorial and literary—polished and confident, but not rigid. Its italic energy reads as expressive and persuasive, suitable for emphasis and storytelling rather than purely utilitarian UI neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated italic with strong typographic tradition—pairing readable text proportions with expressive, tapered details for a distinctive voice in editorial and literary settings.
Letterforms balance rounded bowls with pointed finishing strokes, giving the face a sharp, energetic sparkle at larger sizes while maintaining a continuous, even flow in paragraphs. Spacing appears designed to create a cohesive line color in running text, with noticeable width variation between characters adding a humanist cadence.
