This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, calligraphic stroke flow. Serifs are bracketed and taper into pointed terminals, giving the outlines a carved, slightly sharp finish rather than blunt ends. Proportions feel compact through the lowercase, with a relatively low x-height and clear ascender/descender activity; the lowercase shows single-storey forms where expected and a distinctly angled stress. Capitals are italicized and sculptural, with energetic diagonals and varied internal widths that create a dynamic, slightly irregular rhythm across words.
Well-suited for book and magazine typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, captions, or introductions. It can also perform effectively in short to medium headlines where its sharp detailing and contrast can read as elegant and intentional.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an elegant, slightly dramatic flavor typical of editorial italics. Its sharp terminals and strong modulation add a sense of ceremony and emphasis, reading as refined and traditional rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a strong calligraphic heritage, prioritizing expressive emphasis and traditional readability. Its compact lowercase and lively modulation suggest a focus on creating a distinct italic color that stands apart in editorial and literary contexts.
In text, the slant and high contrast create a strong forward motion and a bright texture, especially in mixed-case settings. Numerals share the same italic stance and modulation, integrating cleanly with running text and reinforcing a cohesive, old-style feel.
