A slanted serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. The letterforms are relatively compact with tall ascenders and graceful, tapered terminals, while bracketed serifs stay sharp and restrained. Curves are smooth and open, counters remain clear, and the overall color on the page is light and airy, with diagonals and joins showing a controlled, pen-like modulation.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also support formal stationery, invitations, and refined branding when used at moderate sizes with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting classic refinement rather than overt display. Its pronounced slant and delicate stroke work add a sense of motion and sophistication, making text feel expressive while still composed.
The design appears intended as a classic, readable italic serif with a refined, traditional character—prioritizing graceful rhythm, crisp contrast, and a polished page texture for continuous reading and formal emphasis.
Capitals are stately and slightly formal, with a consistent slanted stress across rounds. Figures appear lining and similarly slanted, keeping the typographic voice consistent between text and numerals.
