A slanted serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes show calligraphic tapering, with crisp hairlines and fuller curves that create a lively rhythm across words. Serifs are compact and often triangular, with subtle bracketing where stems meet terminals, and counters are moderately open for a clear, text-oriented texture. Proportions feel slightly narrow in places with varied letterwidths, while the italic construction gives many lowercase forms a gently cursive, forward-sweeping motion.
Performs well for continuous reading in books and long-form editorial layouts where a sophisticated italic texture is desired. It also suits magazine features, poetry, and formal communications such as invitations or programs, particularly when paired with a restrained layout that lets the contrast and motion carry the personality.
The overall tone is cultured and bookish, combining classical formality with a fluid, handwritten energy. It reads as refined and traditional rather than decorative, with a confident, literary voice suited to high-end editorial settings.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, readable serif italic with pronounced calligraphic contrast and crisp, tapered detailing, offering an elevated tone for text while remaining disciplined enough for extended use.
The italic angle is consistent and the design leans on tapered entry/exit strokes to keep lines energetic, especially in letters like a, e, f, and y. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and slant, helping them blend smoothly into running text rather than standing apart.
