A slanted serif with calligraphic construction and flared, bracketed stroke endings. The strokes show a clear thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals and softly cupped joins rather than blunt cuts, giving counters a slightly sculpted feel. Proportions are compact and sturdy in capitals, while the lowercase shows lively rhythm with rounded bowls and sweeping entry/exit strokes; the italic angle is pronounced without collapsing readability. Figures follow the same sheared, serifed logic, with open apertures and tapered terminals that keep them coherent in text.
This face suits editorial typography where an italic serif voice carries emphasis and character—magazine features, book jackets, pull quotes, and cultured branding. It also performs well in short to medium text blocks when a richer, more expressive texture is desired over a neutral reading face.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with an editorial polish that feels at home in books and magazines. Its energetic slant and calligraphic flare add warmth and motion, suggesting tradition with a confident, contemporary sharpness.
The font appears intended to provide an expressive italic serif with traditional, flared finishing and a confident text color—something that can read fluently while contributing a distinctive, literary tone. Its detailing suggests a focus on elegance and momentum rather than strict geometric regularity.
The design relies on strong diagonals and gently swelling stems, which creates a forward-leaning texture and a consistent, ink-on-paper impression. The serif treatment stays crisp but not brittle, helping larger sizes feel elegant while maintaining a solid text color.
