This typeface is a right-leaning serif italic with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are finely bracketed and often wedge-like, with hairline entry and exit strokes that give the letterforms a calligraphic flow. Curves are smooth and slightly expanded, and the overall rhythm is lively, with open counters and a forward, continuous slant that keeps text moving. Numerals follow the same italic logic, mixing strong main strokes with delicate hairlines and gently curled terminals.
It suits editorial typography where italic emphasis needs to feel intentional and premium, such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes. The refined contrast and graceful slant also make it a strong choice for invitations, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, upscale voice.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking bookish elegance and editorial polish. Its sharp contrast and fluid italic manner read as expressive yet controlled, lending a sense of sophistication and ceremony to headlines and emphasized text.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic touch—balancing legibility with expressive stroke contrast and elegant finishing. It aims to provide a polished, conventional reading experience while offering enough flourish to stand out in display sizes.
Uppercase forms show generous curves and tapered cross-strokes, while lowercase letters feature distinctive italic construction with looped or hooked details (notably in letters like g, j, y, and z) that add personality. The ampersand is compact and brisk, aligning with the font’s brisk, pen-like movement.
