A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a lively, calligraphic stroke flow. Letterforms show moderate thick–thin modulation with pointed, tapered terminals and slightly flared entry strokes, producing a clean but expressive texture. Proportions feel generously set with open interior spaces and a gently varied rhythm across letters; curves are smooth and oval, while joins stay sharp and controlled. The lowercase is slightly more cursive in feel than the capitals, with extended ascenders/descenders and a distinct, looping italic influence in forms like a, f, g, and y.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic serif voice is needed for emphasis or continuous reading at comfortable sizes. It can also support refined invitations, cultural programming, and brand materials that benefit from a classic, graceful tone.
The overall tone is cultivated and literary, balancing formality with a sense of motion. It reads as classic and tasteful rather than loud, with an editorial polish suited to sophisticated, text-forward design.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, conventional serif foundation infused with italic liveliness, offering an elegant texture and clear word shapes. Its emphasis seems to be on graceful movement, crisp detailing, and a polished, editorial presence.
Capitals maintain a restrained, inscription-like presence with clean diagonals and careful serif shaping, while the lowercase introduces more personality through curved shoulders and subtle swash-like terminals. Numerals are slender and slanted, aligning with the text style and keeping the page color light and refined.
