This typeface is a slanted, high-contrast serif with a calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are bracketed and often slightly flared, with tapered terminals that give strokes a chiseled, inked feel rather than a purely mechanical finish. The capitals are wide and stately with crisp joints and generous internal space, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and a lively rhythm driven by angled entry and exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italicized, contrasty logic, with smooth curves and sharpened apexes that keep the set cohesive in text.
It performs well for editorial typography such as magazine features, book jackets, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also suits refined branding and formal collateral—programs, invitations, and cultural materials—especially at display and subhead sizes where the contrast and flared finishing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, evoking bookish sophistication and traditional print craftsmanship. Its slant and sharp contrast add drama and momentum, making it feel expressive without becoming ornamental or overly decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic, flared finish—balancing traditional proportions with a sharper, more contemporary crispness in curves and terminals. It aims for expressive emphasis in text while retaining the discipline and readability expected of a literary serif.
In running text the letters form a smooth diagonal flow, with consistent spacing and clear word shapes. The contrast and tapered details become more prominent at larger sizes, where the flared stroke endings and bracket transitions read as intentional styling accents.
