A slanted serif design with gently modulated strokes and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Stems and diagonals show subtle swelling and tapering, with serifs that feel bracketed and slightly flared rather than sharply cut. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generous, and the overall proportions lean tall with an energetic forward motion. Numerals follow the same italicized, taper-ended logic, maintaining a consistent texture in running text.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazines, essays, book interiors, and pull quotes—where an italic serif voice is needed for emphasis without losing readability. It also works effectively for cultured branding, packaging, and poster headlines that benefit from a classic-yet-dynamic tone.
The tone is bookish and cultivated, combining traditional serif cues with an active, contemporary slant. It reads as confident and expressive without becoming decorative, lending a sense of pace and sophistication to paragraphs and headlines alike.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic serif that feels traditionally rooted but more animated than a typical text italic, using tapered, flared endings and controlled contrast to keep paragraphs smooth while adding character in display settings.
The uppercase has a strong, steady presence with softened joins, while the lowercase carries much of the liveliness through angled terminals and calligraphy-like stroke endings. Round letters show angled stress, and the overall spacing produces an even, editorial color at text sizes.
