A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and softly bracketed serifs. Forms are rounded and somewhat expansive, with open counters and a lively, calligraphic stroke flow that shows in the tapered terminals and subtly swept joins. Uppercase shapes feel sturdy and sculpted, while the lowercase introduces more movement through curved entries, a single-storey a, and generous, looped forms; overall spacing reads even but not rigid, giving the text a slightly rolling rhythm.
Works well for editorial headlines, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and other typographic moments where an expressive serif can carry tone. It also suits formal invitations, cultural posters, and branding applications that want a classic voice with italic-driven flair.
The tone is traditional and expressive, balancing bookish refinement with a hint of flourish. It evokes editorial classicism and formal correspondence, with enough energy in the italics to feel theatrical and distinctive rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif foundation infused with calligraphic energy, delivering strong contrast and italic motion for emphasis in display and prominent text roles.
Numerals follow the same angled, high-contrast logic, with clear differentiation and curved finishing strokes that suit display and short-text settings. The sample text shows strong word-shape continuity at larger sizes, with emphasis created by the deep contrast and animated terminals.
