This typeface is a slanted serif with clean, bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with smooth joins and tapered terminals, giving the outlines a polished, pen-informed feel without becoming overly ornamental. Proportions are relatively narrow and vertically oriented, with open counters and a steady baseline rhythm that reads evenly in text. Uppercase forms are elegant and restrained, while the lowercase italic introduces lively entry and exit strokes and a flowing, continuous texture.
It performs well for long-form reading environments such as books, essays, and magazine features, where the steady serif rhythm supports comfortable scanning. The slanted style also makes it a strong choice for pull quotes, captions, and refined brand applications that want a traditional, cultured tone.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, suggesting traditional publishing and editorial refinement. Its italic voice feels expressive and slightly dramatic, suited to emphasis and quotation while remaining composed and professional.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, text-oriented serif voice with an italic that feels genuinely drawn rather than mechanically slanted. It balances clarity and elegance, aiming for a graceful reading texture and a classic typographic presence.
Curves are round and well-controlled (notably in C, G, and S), and the numerals follow the same italicized, serifed logic for a cohesive page color. The ampersand and the long, sweeping italic forms add a touch of sophistication without pushing into display-script territory.
