A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapering terminals that suggest a calligraphic pen angle. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with crisp joins and a slightly sculpted, ink-trap-like tension at some corners. The capitals feel stately and open, while the lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes and occasional ball terminals (notably on forms like f). Numerals are italicized and expressive, with traditional, oldstyle-like proportions and noticeable stroke contrast that keeps the texture animated in running text.
Well suited to long-form reading and editorial typography where an italic serif is used as the main voice or as a prominent companion for emphasis. It also performs nicely for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and cultural or academic materials that benefit from a classic, high-contrast texture.
The overall tone is polished and literary, balancing formality with a bit of flourish from the italic movement and tapered details. It reads as classic and trustworthy, with an editorial sophistication that feels at home in bookish or magazine contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast serif voice with an italic-forward, calligraphic sensibility—combining classical proportions with crisp, contemporary finish for clear editorial presence.
The letterforms maintain a consistent diagonal stress and a rhythmic, slightly bouncy cadence across lines, giving paragraphs a refined but energetic color. Curves are generous and smooth, and the stronger contrast makes fine details and terminals especially prominent at display and text sizes where printing or rendering is clean.
