This typeface is an italic slab-serif with crisp, unbracketed serifs that read as squared and firmly attached to the stems. Letterforms show a gently calligraphic construction: strokes taper subtly and curve with an oblique axis, while terminals stay clean and decisive. Capitals are narrow and elegant with long, slightly sweeping diagonals (notably in A, V, W, X, Y), and the overall rhythm is even, with open counters and restrained detailing. Numerals are similarly slanted and clear, maintaining the same sharp serif vocabulary and streamlined proportions.
Well suited to editorial and book typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or section intros while remaining highly legible. It can also work in magazine features, cultural branding, and refined packaging where a classic, text-forward personality is desired.
The overall tone feels literary and poised—more like an editorial italic than an ornamental display. Its slanted, chiseled slab serifs suggest a blend of classical sophistication and practical sturdiness, giving text a formal, cultured voice without becoming heavy or decorative.
The design appears intended as a text-capable italic slab serif that combines the clarity and sturdiness of square serifs with the fluidity of an italic, producing a distinctive yet disciplined reading texture for long-form and editorial use.
Curves are smooth and controlled, with a slightly drawn quality that keeps the design lively. The lowercase maintains readability through open forms and consistent spacing, while distinctive italic gestures (such as the flowing entry/exit strokes and angled joins) reinforce a continuous, forward-leaning motion in text settings.
