This is a conventional text serif with a consistent italic slant and clear calligraphic modulation. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin contrast with tapered joins and sharp, wedge-like terminals, paired with compact bracketed serifs that help keep the forms crisp at display sizes. Proportions lean broad, with open counters and a steady, even rhythm across capitals and lowercase; ascenders are prominent while the x-height remains moderate, giving the face a traditional, book-italic silhouette. Numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast construction, with smooth curves and decisive terminals.
It performs well for editorial typography where an italic serif is used as a primary voice: magazine features, book interiors, literary programs, and formal correspondence. The strong contrast and energetic italic rhythm make it particularly effective for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and highlighted passages where emphasis and polish are desired.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, with a confident, old-style elegance that reads as established and serious rather than playful. Its slanted forms and strong contrast add a sense of motion and emphasis, making the voice feel editorial and rhetorical—well suited to quotations, titling, and classical styling.
The design appears intended as a classic, readable italic serif that balances traditional book typography with enough contrast and width to hold up in editorial display. Its construction emphasizes clarity and refinement while preserving a lively, calligraphic flow in longer lines of text.
Uppercase forms appear sturdy and slightly wide, while the lowercase shows more cursive influence, especially in letters like a, f, g, and y, which contributes to a lively texture in continuous text. The punctuation and figures match the same sharp, tapered finishing, keeping the typographic color coherent in mixed settings.
