A slanted serif with a calligraphic construction and lively stroke modulation. Serifs are sharp and flared with noticeable bracketed joins, producing crisp terminals and a slightly engraved feel. The design favors narrow apertures and tapered strokes, with a smooth diagonal rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Curves are energetic and slightly condensed, and many characters show subtle swash-like entry/exit strokes that emphasize motion and refinement.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, and cover typography where the italic character and sharp serif detailing can be appreciated. It can also support elegant branding and formal print pieces (invitations, programs, certificates) when set with comfortable spacing and moderate line lengths.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting classic editorial elegance with a touch of theatrical flourish. Its pronounced italic flow and crisp finishing details feel formal and expressive rather than utilitarian, lending a sense of tradition and sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice through an expressive italic lens—combining classic proportions with sharper, more decorative terminal behavior. It prioritizes atmosphere and typographic color over neutrality, aiming for an elevated, editorial presence.
In text, the strong diagonal emphasis and tight counters create a distinctive texture, especially in combinations of rounded letters and tall ascenders. Numerals follow the same slanted, tapered logic and read as graceful display figures rather than strictly neutral text numbers.
