This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a clear calligraphic influence, with tapered entries/exits and wedge-like terminals that keep the forms lively rather than mechanical. Capitals are relatively narrow and refined, with sharp apexes and clean curves; the rhythm is controlled and slightly compact. Lowercase forms maintain a moderate x-height and open counters, with distinctive italic constructions (single-storey a, fluid e, and energetic diagonals) that create a continuous forward motion. Numerals share the same contrast and slant, reading as lining figures with sculpted curves and angled terminals.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine features, essays, and book typography where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis or stylistic passages. It can also serve in refined display roles—titles, pull quotes, and formal printed materials—where its contrast and slant can read as intentionally sophisticated.
The overall tone feels traditional and polished, with an editorial, bookish character. Its slanted forms and high contrast convey sophistication and a touch of drama, suggesting formality without becoming ornate. The texture is smooth and rhythmic, lending a literary, established voice.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif voice with a distinctly italic, calligraphy-derived rhythm—appropriate for classical publishing conventions while offering expressive emphasis. Its controlled proportions and crisp contrast suggest a focus on readability in text alongside confident performance in headings.
The italic angle is consistent across the alphabet, and many joins and terminals end in sharp, tapered points that reinforce the calligraphic feel. Spacing appears balanced for continuous text, producing an even gray value while still showing crisp stroke contrast at display sizes.
