This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with crisp, wedge-like serifs and strongly modulated strokes. The forms lean decisively with a calligraphic rhythm, showing tapered entries and exits, sharp terminals, and bracketed joins that keep the shapes continuous rather than abrupt. Capitals are relatively narrow and poised, while the lowercase features flowing curves, pointed arches, and compact counters; the overall spacing feels measured, with a lively baseline movement typical of true italics. Numerals follow the same style, combining slim hairlines with weighty curves and clear, angled finishing strokes.
It works well for editorial typography—magazine features, book interiors, and literary layouts—especially for italics used as emphasis, quotations, or voice. The strong contrast and elegant detailing also make it effective for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a refined, classic tone is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a sense of tradition and cultivated formality. Its energetic italic motion adds a persuasive, editorial character—suited to conveying sophistication without feeling rigid or mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional text-serif italic with pronounced calligraphic energy, balancing refinement with clear structure. It prioritizes an expressive, formal reading voice for editorial and publishing contexts while maintaining a consistent, classical construction across letters and numerals.
Distinctive letterforms include a calligraphic single-storey italic "a" and "g," a long-tailed "Q," and a sharply cut "f" and "t" that emphasize the slanted, pen-driven construction. The contrast and pointed detailing are most striking at display sizes, where the hairlines and serifs remain visually crisp.
