A slanted, high-contrast serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation and angled stress, with fine hairlines and sharper, wedge-like terminals that keep counters open and forms crisp. The serifs appear bracketed and tapered rather than blocky, and curves are smooth with a slightly lively, handwritten rhythm. Proportions feel moderately compact with a normal x-height and clear differentiation between capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving the design a traditional text-face silhouette in an italic posture.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or section leads. It can also serve refined display roles—such as invitations, packaging accents, and brand headlines—where high contrast and a classic serif italic character help convey quality.
The overall tone is polished and classical, with an editorial, bookish sophistication. Its energetic italic slant and bright contrast add a sense of elegance and motion, making it feel formal without becoming stiff.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif italic that delivers a refined, traditional reading experience while providing expressive emphasis. Its calligraphic stress, crisp terminals, and disciplined proportions suggest a focus on elegant text setting and editorial hierarchy.
Capitals carry a dignified, slightly swashed feel through tapered entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms maintain readability via open apertures and steady spacing. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic angle, reading cleanly in continuous text and lending a traditional, print-oriented flavor.
