This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic feel, with tapered entries and exits and occasional flare at terminals, creating a lively rhythm across words. Proportions are moderately wide with open counters; capitals feel stately and steady while the lowercase is more animated, with a two-storey “g” and a distinctly slanted, somewhat narrow “f” and “j” that emphasize the italic flow. Numerals follow the same contrasty, sculpted construction and sit comfortably alongside the text forms.
It is well suited to continuous reading in books, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where an elegant serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and lively italic texture also make it effective for pull quotes, intros, and other emphasis-driven text settings that benefit from a refined, classic character.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting classic book typography with a more expressive, editorial slant. Its sharp contrast and elegant curves convey sophistication and formality, while the italic energy adds motion and a slightly dramatic, cultivated voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast serif experience with a distinctly italic, calligraphic underpinning—balancing formal capitals and a dynamic lowercase for expressive yet disciplined text typography.
Spacing appears generous enough for text, but the high contrast and pointed details give the face a distinctly crisp presence that becomes more prominent as size increases. The italic angle is consistent, producing a continuous forward momentum in the sample paragraph and helping long lines read as a coherent texture.
