A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic, sweeping construction with tapered terminals, energetic curves, and a slightly open, airy rhythm. Capitals are broad and sculptural with strong diagonal stress, while the lowercase has lively ascenders/descenders and a smooth, continuous stroke flow that reads confidently at display and larger text sizes. Numerals match the italic movement, with elegant curves and clear differentiation.
Well suited for editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, leads, or pull quotes. It also performs nicely in refined headlines and formal printed materials like programs and invitations where a classic, elegant serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is cultured and traditional, with an elegant, bookish feel that suggests literature, academia, and classic editorial design. Its strong contrast and dynamic slant add drama and sophistication, giving headlines a poised, high-end presence without feeling ornamental.
This design appears intended to deliver a traditional italic serif voice with strong contrast and a distinctly calligraphic sweep, balancing readability with a heightened, formal expressiveness for editorial and literary typography.
The shapes favor graceful diagonals and curved joins over rigid geometry, producing a fluid texture in running text. Round letters and bowls keep a polished sheen, while serifs and terminals stay sharp enough to preserve definition in tightly set lines.
