This typeface is a slanted serif with a calligraphic, flared-stroke construction. Stems swell subtly toward terminals, creating wedge-like endings rather than blunt slabs, and the stroke weight stays fairly even overall with only gentle modulation. The letterforms are slightly condensed in feeling with lively diagonals and a forward-leaning rhythm; curves are smooth and open, while joins and serifs are sharpened into clean, pointed accents. Lowercase features a single-storey “a” and “g,” a compact ear on “g,” and a long, elegant “f,” contributing to an italic text-face cadence. Figures follow the same slanted, moderately flowing logic with clear, open counters and crisp terminals.
It suits editorial typography where an italic voice is needed with clarity and polish—book interiors, essays, magazine features, and pull quotes. The crisp flared terminals also make it a strong option for refined short-form settings such as invitations, cultural programs, and brand copy that benefits from a traditional yet lively italic tone.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, balancing tradition with a bit of energetic motion from the italic slant. Flared terminals and crisp wedges add a sense of craft and formality without feeling overly ornate, giving the face a poised, literary voice suited to sophisticated reading settings.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic serif optimized for continuous reading, using flared terminals and controlled stroke modulation to evoke classical, pen-influenced forms while preserving clean reproduction and an even typographic color.
Spacing appears comfortably open for an italic, helping keep word shapes clear in continuous text. The design maintains consistency between capitals and lowercase, with capitals showing pronounced wedge endings and diagonals that reinforce the forward momentum while still reading as restrained and classic.
