This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairlines. The serifs are delicate and bracketed, with a tapered, slightly calligraphic feel that shows through in the curved joins and the flowing entry/exit strokes. Capitals are stately and open, with smooth bowls and controlled, narrow terminals; the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with rounded counters and gently tapered strokes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with light top strokes and fuller curves, giving an overall airy texture on the page.
It suits editorial typography where a refined, traditional voice is desired—magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes. The elegant contrast and flowing italic make it a strong choice for invitations, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a premium, classical tone.
The overall tone is polished and literary, leaning toward classic bookish elegance rather than overt display theatrics. Its slanted, high-contrast construction suggests sophistication and formality, with a subtle handwritten energy that keeps the texture lively.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif italic with a distinctly refined, calligraphic contrast, aiming to deliver a graceful reading texture and a cultured voice for longer passages as well as emphasized text.
In running text the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a bright page color, while the stronger diagonals and curves provide clear word shapes. The italic slant is consistent and smooth, helping maintain continuity across mixed-case settings and punctuation-heavy lines.
