A slanted serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear modulation and diagonal stress, with tapered joins and crisp, pointed serifs that add bite without becoming harsh. Capitals are broad and steady, while the lowercase is more fluid and slightly compact, with rounded bowls and open apertures that keep text color even. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with curving forms and angled terminals that align with the overall forward motion.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and pull quotes where a classic italic voice is needed. It also works for formal headlines and subheads that benefit from a traditional serif presence without sacrificing forward momentum.
The face reads as traditional and bookish, with an energetic italic cadence that feels cultured rather than casual. Its sharp serifs and flowing curves suggest an established, literary tone suited to refined communication.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional text-serif italic with a lively, calligraphic edge—balancing readability and an expressive, traditional tone for continuous text and emphasis.
The italic angle is noticeable and consistent across cases, and the design maintains a cohesive texture in paragraphs. Curved letters (like C, G, O, Q) emphasize diagonal stress, and the serif shapes remain pointed and slightly flared, giving headings a crisp silhouette.
