A slanted serif with lively, calligraphic construction and subtly flared stroke endings. Strokes show clear modulation with tapered joins and bracketed serifs that thicken into the terminals, giving stems a gently swelling, sculpted feel. Proportions are compact in the capitals with sharp diagonals and crisp apexes, while the lowercase is energetic with a tall x-height, open counters, and flowing italic forms. Overall spacing and rhythm feel even and text-ready, with smooth curves and controlled, slightly pointed terminals that keep the texture crisp at reading sizes.
Well suited to long-form editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine features where an italic serif texture is desirable. It also performs well for refined headlines, pull quotes, invitations, and brand systems that want a classic serif voice with added movement and personality.
The tone is classic and literary, with an editorial elegance that reads as traditional yet animated. Its italic stance and flared detailing add warmth and motion, suggesting a confident, cultured voice rather than a strictly formal one.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif conventions with an italic, flared-stroke character that enhances rhythm and emphasis in continuous reading. It aims for a polished, text-centric presence that remains expressive through calligraphic modulation and tapered terminals.
Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, chiseled crispness, while round forms (like O/Q and c/e) keep generous interior space for clarity. The italic shaping is pronounced enough to signal emphasis, but restrained enough to sustain long passages without feeling decorative.
