This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, calligraphic stroke flow. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with tapered terminals that give curves a lively, drawn quality rather than a purely mechanical finish. Proportions run generously wide with open counters, and the rhythm is energetic, supported by a consistent rightward slant and tight, clean joins. Numerals and capitals carry strong contrast and clear entry/exit strokes, contributing to an overall polished, print-oriented texture.
It performs especially well in editorial settings such as magazine headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and slant can add emphasis. It can also suit book covers, cultural branding, and formal materials like invitations or programs, particularly when used at display sizes or in short passages where its refined detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels editorial and literary—confident, articulate, and slightly dramatic. Its strong contrast and italic movement suggest sophistication and ceremony, lending a classic, cultured voice suited to premium typography.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif voice with added italic expressiveness—combining traditional structure and readability with a more dramatic, calligraphic motion for emphasis and tone-setting in editorial and brand typography.
In text, the italic angle and contrast create a pronounced shimmer, with sharp details (notably in diagonals and curved terminals) that read best when given enough size and breathing room. The forms balance traditional serif structure with a slightly expressive, hand-informed energy.
