This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with slender hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation, giving strokes a crisp, engraved quality. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, and the italic construction is consistent across caps and lowercase with a steady rightward slant. Proportions feel traditional, with moderately sized counters and a slightly compact, rhythmic texture that alternates between strong stems and delicate connecting strokes. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, with graceful curves and tapered terminals that keep the figures visually light despite the dark main strokes.
It performs especially well for editorial typography and book work where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or titles. The sharp contrast and graceful slant also make it a strong choice for invitations, luxury-leaning branding, and display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, and chapter openers.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting formality and polish rather than casual friendliness. Its sharp, glossy contrasts and poised italic flow convey a classic, editorial sensibility—suited to sophisticated messaging and ceremonious emphasis.
The design appears intended as a classic, high-contrast italic with a calligraphic backbone—balancing formal tradition with enough dynamism to stand out in display and emphatic text roles.
Capitals read as stately and controlled, while the lowercase introduces more movement through curved entries, tapered joins, and lively diagonals. The design maintains a consistent pen-like logic, producing an even, elegant cadence in continuous text while remaining distinctly italic in silhouette.
