This typeface is an italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic logic: curved joins and terminals taper into sharp points, with a steady rightward slant across both cases. The capitals are stately and slightly narrow with wedge-like finishing, while the lowercase is lively and looped, with clear entry/exit strokes that create a flowing baseline rhythm. Numerals share the same high-contrast, old-style feel, mixing rounded forms with angled terminals for a consistent color in text.
Well suited to book and magazine typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, leads, and refined short passages. It can also support formal communications such as invitations and programs, and works as a sophisticated accent in branding when a classic, crafted tone is desired.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a poised, editorial elegance. Its energetic italic movement adds a touch of drama and flourish without becoming decorative, projecting a sense of formality and craft.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic stroke model—balancing traditional proportions with a more expressive, high-contrast cadence for elegant text and display emphasis.
The italic construction is strong and consistent, giving words a continuous forward motion. Contrast is most evident in round letters and in diagonals, where hairlines stay fine and the thick strokes remain sturdy, producing a crisp texture at display and text sizes.
