A right-leaning serif with moderate stroke modulation and a distinctly calligraphic construction. The forms show angled stress, soft bracketed serifs, and frequent teardrop/ball terminals, producing a smooth, inked rhythm rather than a sharply engineered one. Capitals are compact and slightly narrow with crisp entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase shows lively curves and tapered joins; the numerals follow the same italic slant and modulation for a cohesive texture. Spacing reads even in text, with a slightly animated baseline presence typical of italic text faces.
Well suited for editorial settings such as book typography, magazine features, and long-form articles where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also works nicely for pull quotes, introductions, captions, and formal invitations or announcements that benefit from a classic serif tone.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a refined, slightly dramatic italic flavor. It evokes printed literature and editorial typography, projecting elegance and authority without feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic: expressive enough to clearly differentiate emphasis, yet restrained and consistent enough to maintain comfortable reading rhythm in paragraphs.
The italic character is pronounced across both cases, with energetic diagonals and rounded counters that keep paragraphs from feeling brittle. Terminal shapes and bracketed serifs add warmth, helping the face remain readable at typical text sizes while still feeling distinctly stylized.
