A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. The letterforms show bracketed serifs and a calligraphic stress that gives strokes a lively, slightly springy rhythm rather than a purely mechanical construction. Capitals feel open and generously spaced, while lowercase forms are compact and flowing, with rounded joins and gently cupped exits. Numerals echo the same italic energy, with angled tops and curved bowls that maintain consistent contrast and a refined silhouette.
Well suited to editorial typography, pull quotes, and refined page settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or atmosphere. It can also serve for formal stationery and invitation work, and for tasteful display lines that benefit from a classic serif texture and expressive slant.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, leaning toward bookish elegance and editorial polish. Its energetic italic motion adds a sense of fluency and sophistication, suggesting formality without becoming stiff.
This design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic stroke logic—aiming to deliver a traditional literary feel while keeping the page texture crisp and animated.
The slant and strong contrast create clear word-shape movement, and the serifs stay sharp and defined at display sizes. Curved letters (like C, S, and O) emphasize the calligraphic axis, while diagonals and arms show clean tapering that keeps the texture bright and articulate.
