A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a gently calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with tapered entries and exits that keep strokes lively rather than rigid. Capitals are open and slightly expansive with crisp apexes and controlled curves, while the lowercase shows rounded bowls, a two-storey “g,” and a generally oldstyle construction. Numerals echo the same contrast and italic lean, with curvy forms and small finishing strokes that read clearly at text sizes.
Well suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine typography where an italic serif voice is needed for emphasis or a distinctive typographic color. It also performs well for refined headlines, pull quotes, and titling that benefits from high-contrast strokes and a cultured, classical flavor.
The overall tone feels classical and bookish, with an editorial sophistication that suggests tradition rather than trend. Its italic energy adds a sense of motion and elegance, making it feel expressive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic with elevated contrast and a subtly calligraphic finish, balancing traditional forms with enough sharpness to hold attention in contemporary editorial layouts.
The slant is steady and consistent across letters and figures, and the contrast concentrates in key stress points on rounds and diagonals. Counters stay open enough for paragraph settings, while the sharper joins and tapered terminals create a crisp, engraved-like snap in headings.
