A slanted serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic construction: curved entries and exits, tapered joins, and a lively rhythm driven by angled stress. Proportions are generous and somewhat broad, with open counters and smooth, continuous curves; capitals feel stately while lowercase maintains clear differentiation and steady spacing. Numerals follow the same italicized, slightly swashy logic, with rounded terminals and pronounced thick–thin transitions.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, long-form reading, and literary typography where an italic serif voice is needed for emphasis or continuous setting. It can also serve in refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal invitations or programs when a classic, print-like tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking printed literature and classic editorial typography. Its energetic slant and crisp contrast add a sense of sophistication and motion, reading as confident and slightly dramatic without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic flavor, balancing readability with expressive stroke contrast. It prioritizes a polished, traditional texture suitable for editorial and book contexts.
Curves and terminals are prominent throughout, giving the face a fluid texture in text. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the set reads best where contrast and fine details can remain clean and visible.
