A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and calligraphic modulation throughout. Thick vertical strokes pair with hairline joins and tapered entry/exit strokes, creating a crisp rhythm and a distinctly italic texture. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with lively terminals and slight flaring that emphasizes the pen-like construction. Proportions are moderately compact with a normal x-height; rounded forms show oblique stress, and figures appear lining with similarly strong thick–thin contrast.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a strong italic voice is desirable, such as magazine features, book interiors, introductions, and pull quotes. The bold presence and sharp contrast also make it effective for short headlines, subheads, and titling where a classic serif tone is needed without losing momentum.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a refined, old-world polish. Its energetic italic motion reads confident and expressive, lending a literary, editorial feel rather than a neutral utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, expressive italic serif for conventional reading contexts—balancing classical serif structure with calligraphic movement and clear, high-contrast modeling.
Capitals are sturdy and sculpted, holding their weight well while still showing delicate hairlines in the interior curves. Lowercase forms lean into a cursive italic logic, with strong diagonals and tapered strokes that create a flowing word shape at text sizes. The numerals match the italic cadence and contrast, keeping the set visually cohesive in mixed text.
