This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes shift from hairline-thin joins to weighty main stems, with sharp, tapered terminals and bracketed wedge-like serifs that add snap at entry and exit points. Curves are generous and smooth, counters are open, and the overall rhythm feels lively due to the energetic diagonals and the varying widths across glyphs. Numerals follow the same angled, high-contrast logic, reading as refined and slightly formal.
It works especially well for editorial typography—magazine features, book interiors, and refined headlines—where an italic voice is used for emphasis or elegance. It can also suit formal communications such as invitations or announcements, and performs nicely in larger sizes for titles, pull quotes, and short passages where its contrast and motion can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, projecting a classic editorial sophistication with a touch of drama. Its slanted, high-contrast forms evoke traditional book and magazine typography, suggesting taste, ceremony, and a cultivated voice rather than a neutral utilitarian feel.
The design appears intended to provide a sophisticated italic serif with strong calligraphic cues, balancing traditional readability with a more expressive, high-contrast flourish. It aims to deliver a premium, classic text tone while adding distinctive movement for emphasis and display.
Uppercase forms are stately and clean, while the lowercase shows more movement and handwritten influence, creating a pleasing hierarchy in mixed-case settings. The italic angle is consistent and the sharp terminals give the design a crisp silhouette that stands out on the page.
