This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and crisp bracketed serifs. Strokes show a pronounced calligraphic modulation, with thin hairlines and firm main stems, producing a lively diagonal rhythm across words. Capitals are broad and stately with tapered entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase combines compact counters with flowing, slightly rounded joins and a strong forward slant. Numerals follow the same engraved, contrasty construction with pointed terminals and an elegant, slightly varied width feel from character to character.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book titles and chapter openings, and other settings where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also serve in branding or packaging that benefits from a classic, upscale tone, particularly in short headlines, pull quotes, and emphasized passages.
The overall tone feels traditional and polished, with a distinctly literary and editorial voice. Its energetic slant and knife-cut details add drama and sophistication, suggesting formality without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation expressed through a more expressive italic, combining classical proportions with brisk, high-contrast detailing for a refined, print-oriented texture.
The italic is integral rather than a simple slant: many letters show reshaped forms and directional stress typical of calligraphic italics. Sharp apexes (notably in V/W/X/Y) and tapered curves create a crisp texture, while generous capitals and assertive serifs help maintain presence at display sizes.
