A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, finely tapered serifs. The capitals are moderately wide with sculpted curves and subtle flare at terminals, while the lowercase shows an italic, calligraphic construction with lively entry/exit strokes and compact, single-storey forms (notably a, g, and y). Curves are smooth and slightly elongated, counters are open, and the overall spacing reads even, producing a steady text rhythm despite the expressive stroke endings.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, long-form passages, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed. It also fits titles, pull quotes, invitations, and premium branding applications that benefit from a refined, classical serif presence.
The font conveys a polished, bookish tone—graceful and traditional rather than casual. Its sharp contrast and flowing italic movement suggest sophistication and ceremony, with a hint of old-world editorial flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional text-serif italic with strong calligraphic energy—balancing readability with graceful, high-contrast detailing for formal and literary settings.
Figures follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and a slightly varying footprint from digit to digit. The ampersand is notably decorative and the overall design favors fine details and tapered joins, which read best when given enough size or printing clarity.
