A slanted serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and noticeable calligraphic modulation. Strokes show a flowing, pen-driven rhythm with rounded joins, softly tapered ends, and a slightly condensed, forward-leaning posture. The lowercase has a compact, energetic texture with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and modest extenders that keep lines feeling tight and cohesive. Numerals and capitals carry the same angled stress and sturdy footing, producing a consistent, bookish color at text sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts where an expressive italic voice is useful. It can also work effectively for headings, pull quotes, and classical or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a traditional, text-serif feel with added movement.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a warm, editorial confidence. Its italic slant and pen-like shaping add a touch of elegance and motion, suggesting refinement without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, conventional serif foundation with an italic that leans into calligraphic heritage. Its goal seems to be a confident, refined texture for text while retaining enough personality for emphasis and display moments.
Serifs are distinctly shaped and often curl or hook slightly at the ends, giving the design a characteristic, lively finish. Rounded counters and broad curves in letters like O/Q pair with sharper interior angles in forms like V/W/X, creating a balanced mix of softness and snap.
