This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, with tapered terminals that keep strokes feeling crisp rather than blunt. The overall rhythm is lively: rounded letters show strong modulation, while verticals stay steady and confident, producing a clear text color. Proportions lean generously spaced and open, with slightly varied character widths and an even, readable lowercase structure.
It suits continuous reading in print-oriented contexts such as books, longform editorial, and magazine typography, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or primary setting. It can also work well in refined branding, invitations, and packaging that benefit from a classic, formal serif character.
The tone is traditional and literary, evoking classic book typography and editorial polish. Its energetic italic slant and sharp contrast add a sense of motion and emphasis, while the serif detailing keeps it formal and established.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, highly readable serif voice with an expressive italic character—balancing traditional bookish forms with enough contrast and slant to deliver emphasis and elegance in text.
Capitals have a stately presence with smooth curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and controlled entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with clear differentiation and a slightly old-world feel that matches the text forms.
