A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. The serifs are bracketed and relatively fine, giving the shapes a sharp, engraved feel while maintaining smooth curves and an even rhythm in text. Capitals are open and stately with generous internal space, and the lowercase shows a traditional italic construction with single-storey a and g, a flowing f, and a gently angled stress. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and descenders that blend naturally into running text.
This font fits comfortably in long-form editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine features, where its strong contrast and classic italic forms can add voice and hierarchy. It also works well for pull quotes, introductions, and refined brand applications like premium packaging or invitations that call for a traditional, elegant serif.
The overall tone is bookish and cultured, projecting a sense of tradition and polish. Its lively italic movement adds warmth and sophistication, making it feel suited to formal writing and refined editorial settings rather than utilitarian interfaces.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a classical, calligraphy-informed structure, balancing readability with a distinctly polished, high-contrast character. Its oldstyle numerals and lively forms suggest an emphasis on fluent reading and typographic nuance in editorial composition.
The design reads best when allowed some space: the thin hairlines and delicate serifs benefit from clean reproduction and moderate-to-generous sizing. The italic slant is consistent and energetic without becoming overly steep, preserving clarity in longer passages.
