A slanted, serifed design with crisp, unbracketed slab terminals that meet stems squarely. Strokes are smooth and even, with a gently calligraphic rhythm created by the consistent italic angle and slightly flared joins. Capitals are narrow and elegant with open counters, while lowercase forms keep a steady x-height and fluid movement; round letters (o, e, c) stay clean and readable, and diagonals (v, w, x) feel sharp and controlled. Numerals and punctuation follow the same italic cadence, maintaining clear silhouettes and moderate spacing.
Well-suited to book and magazine settings where an italic with personality is needed for emphasis, introductions, or quotations. It can also work for refined branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, writerly feel, and for invitations or short-form display where the slant and slabs add distinction without becoming overly ornate.
The overall tone feels literary and editorial—polished and traditional, with a subtle handwritten energy. Its italic posture and crisp slabs give it a poised, slightly formal voice that reads as classic rather than decorative.
The font appears designed to blend the authority of slab serif construction with the expressive motion of an italic, delivering a readable text voice that still feels crafted. It aims for a traditional, editorial character with enough individuality to stand out in headings and highlighted passages.
The design balances sturdy slab finishing with a pen-like flow, producing a distinctive mix of firmness and grace. Letterforms show consistent slant and stable baselines, making longer passages feel cohesive while still adding character.
