A slanted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic logic: thickened diagonals, tapered entry/exit strokes, and a lively rhythm that creates uneven, natural-looking color in text. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and slightly condensed in silhouette, while lowercase features rounded bowls, teardrop-like terminals, and a single-storey a and g that emphasize an oldstyle, written construction. Numerals follow the same italic flow with strong contrast and curved finishing strokes, helping the set feel unified across text and display sizes.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where an expressive italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and lively terminals can be showcased without appearing ornamental.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a dramatic, literary flavor typical of bookish and magazine typography. Its energetic italic stance and high-contrast modulation add a sense of movement and elegance, reading as refined rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a characterful, legible italic serif that bridges traditional text typography with a more expressive, calligraphy-informed texture. It aims to deliver strong emphasis and elegance while maintaining the discipline and familiarity of a conventional serif for editorial use.
Counters remain open despite the strong contrast, and the italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving paragraphs a coherent forward motion. Some characters show expressive, slightly swashy terminals (notably in the lowercase), which adds personality while staying within a conventional serif framework.
