This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a calligraphic, pen-driven feel. Stems and diagonals taper into sharp, wedge-like terminals, and the serifs are small and bracketed, keeping the overall color light and refined. Curves are smooth and slightly condensed in places, with lively joins and a subtle forward momentum across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italic rhythm, with open shapes and angled stress that blends cleanly with text settings.
It performs well in editorial typography where an elegant italic voice is needed—pull quotes, intros, captions, and refined body settings at comfortable sizes. The sharp contrast and crisp terminals also make it a strong choice for premium branding, menus, invitations, and other applications that benefit from a classic, cultivated texture.
The overall tone is sophisticated and literary, with a cultured, old-world elegance. Its energetic slant and crisp contrast give it a sense of motion and polish, suited to expressive but still traditional typography.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif italic with heightened refinement: a readable text companion that adds emphasis and sophistication without turning into a decorative script. Its consistent contrast model and disciplined serif treatment suggest a focus on polished, bookish typography with an expressive, calligraphic edge.
Uppercase forms read as formal and stately, while the lowercase shows more handwriting influence, especially in the entry/exit strokes and the italic structure. The punctuation and figures share the same angled stress, helping mixed text feel cohesive and consistently paced.
