A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are finely bracketed with tapered, wedge-like endings, and many strokes finish in small hooks or ball terminals, giving the letterforms a lively, pen-driven texture. Capitals are compact and sculpted, while the lowercase shows a traditional, slightly varied silhouette with clear entry/exit strokes and subtly uneven widths that create an organic flow. Numerals appear oldstyle in feel, with curving forms and varied heights that integrate naturally with text.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and display use in editorial layouts where contrast and italic movement can be a feature. It can also work for book covers, cultural branding, and formal invitations when a traditional serif voice with added flourish is desired.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, balancing polish with a touch of flourish. Its high-contrast, italic posture adds drama and elegance, suggesting traditional publishing and refined branding rather than utilitarian UI typography.
Likely designed to evoke a classical italic tradition with strong contrast and expressive finishing, aiming for an elegant, literary impression that remains readable while adding personality. The combination of refined serifs and lively terminals suggests a focus on premium editorial and branding applications.
Round letters show generous curves with tight, crisp joins, and several glyphs feature distinctive curled terminals (notably in j, y, and z) that add personality. The texture in paragraphs is dark and energetic, with a forward motion that reads as deliberate and expressive.
