A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and wedge-like terminals that give the strokes a subtly calligraphic bite. The design shows moderate thick–thin modulation with pronounced diagonals and tapered joins, creating a lively rhythm rather than a rigid, mechanical texture. Capitals are slightly narrow and upright in structure but clearly italic in stress, while the lowercase forms are compact with firm entry/exit strokes and a steady baseline flow. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with rounded forms and angled terminals that match the serif language.
Well suited for editorial typography—book and magazine use, pull quotes, subheads, and italic emphasis within serif body copy. It can also serve as a refined display italic for titles where a classic, authoritative feel is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a confident, formal voice that recalls book typography and editorial craft. Its italic energy reads expressive without becoming decorative, lending emphasis and elegance rather than flamboyance.
The design appears intended as a conventional text companion italic: readable and steady enough for extended setting, yet animated through calligraphic terminals and moderate contrast to provide clear emphasis and a cultivated, print-oriented character.
The stroke endings and small, sharp terminals add sparkle at display sizes, while the consistent serif treatment helps maintain coherence in paragraph settings. The slant and tapered detailing make spacing feel active, so it tends to look best when given comfortable line spacing.
