A slanted serif with medium contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs that taper into sharp terminals. The drawing shows calligraphic influence in the stroke modulation and the way curves and joins transition, producing a lively rhythm rather than rigid geometry. Uppercase forms are relatively wide and open, while lowercase maintains steady proportions with clear counters and compact, slightly angular joins. Numerals follow the same italic stress, with smooth curves and tapered endings that keep figures cohesive in running text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is used for emphasis, quotations, or extended passages. The wide, open shapes also support display use in headings, standfirsts, and refined branding moments where a classic serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional book typography with a slightly energetic, handwritten slant. It reads as polished and formal, but not cold—more expressive than a strictly rational text face. The italic angle gives it a sense of motion that feels editorial and elegant.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience while adding a more expressive italic character through tapered terminals and calligraphic stress. It balances tradition with a touch of dynamism, aiming for clarity in text with enough personality to stand out in editorial settings.
In the text sample, the slant and tapered finishing strokes create a continuous flow across words, while the moderate contrast keeps it from becoming fragile at larger sizes. Spacing appears generous enough to preserve clarity, with prominent entry/exit strokes that add personality in headlines and pull quotes.
