This typeface is a slanted serif with subtly flared, wedge-like terminals and a calligraphic stroke flow. Stems swell toward the ends, creating soft, tapered serifs rather than hard slabs, while the overall contrast stays moderate and even. Counters are open and rounded, curves are smooth, and the italic construction produces a forward, energetic rhythm. Uppercase forms feel slightly broad and sculpted, and the lowercase shows a traditional italic structure with single-storey shapes and lively joins.
It works especially well for headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium passages where an italic, serif voice is desired without sacrificing clarity. The sturdy forms and energetic rhythm also suit magazine typography, book titles, cultural branding, and premium packaging where a traditional yet characterful impression is needed.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, with a literary, old-world warmth. Its slant and flared endings add expressiveness without becoming decorative, giving text a confident, cultured voice suited to refined, story-driven settings.
The design appears intended to blend classical italic proportions with flared, gently tapered terminals for a more handcrafted, written quality. It aims to deliver an editorial serif presence that reads clearly while adding motion and personality to the line.
In text, the face maintains a steady texture while showing noticeable movement from the italic angle and tapered terminals. Numerals and capitals carry the same sculpted, slightly calligraphic weight distribution, helping headings and pull quotes feel cohesive with running text.
