This is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with a calligraphic rhythm that shows through in the angled stress of rounded forms and the lively, slightly irregular stroke tapering. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with moderate ascenders/descenders and open counters that keep the texture airy at text sizes. Numerals and capitals maintain the same high-contrast, swept construction, creating a consistent, polished page color.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a refined italic voice is needed for emphasis or extended passages. It can also serve elegantly in invitations, programs, and high-end branding materials, and scales nicely to pull-quote or headline use where the sharp contrast and tapered details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is sophisticated and literary, suggesting formality without feeling rigid. Its fluid slant and sharp finishing details give it a sense of motion and finesse, lending a cultured, editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical, text-oriented serif with an expressive italic flavor—balancing readability with a distinctly crafted, calligraphy-informed finish for sophisticated publishing and branding contexts.
Letterforms show a noticeable diagonal emphasis in curves and joins, with pointed or knife-like entry/exit strokes that add sparkle in display settings. Spacing in the samples reads even and measured, supporting continuous reading while preserving an expressive, calligraphic character.
