A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a calligraphic, slightly oldstyle construction. Serifs are bracketed and smoothly joined, with tapered entry/exit strokes and occasional teardrop-like terminals that add a lively, inked feel. The proportions run on the broader side with generous counters, while curves show a gentle diagonal stress and crisp hairlines. Numerals and capitals carry the same flowing rhythm, balancing sharp joins with rounded, soft-shouldered forms.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book content where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis or longer passages. It also works effectively for formal branding, packaging, and invitations that benefit from a traditional, high-contrast serif with expressive movement.
The tone is classic and literary, with a refined, editorial polish. Its energetic italic movement and high-contrast strokes suggest tradition and authority, while the soft terminals keep it expressive rather than rigid.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation expressed through a confident italic with calligraphic influence—prioritizing elegance, rhythm, and a recognizable classical voice for publishing and refined communication.
Distinctive details like the curving tail on Q, the flowing leg of R, and the looped, swashy behavior in letters such as g, y, and z contribute to a decorative edge without tipping into display-only novelty. The overall rhythm remains consistent across the alphabet, supporting continuous reading when set with comfortable spacing.
