This typeface is an italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, sharply defined silhouette. Serifs are finely tapered and largely bracketed, with delicate hairlines and more substantial main strokes that create a lively diagonal rhythm. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with moderate ascender/descender length and an even, readable x-height for an italic text face. The italic construction shows consistent slant and fluid joins, while counters remain open and well-shaped, giving the letters an airy, controlled texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic voice is used for emphasis or extended passages. It also fits refined branding, cultural programs, and invitations, especially when paired with a more restrained roman companion for hierarchy.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining a classical sensibility with a slightly calligraphic grace. It reads as formal and cultivated, suited to environments where nuance and sophistication are more important than blunt impact.
The design intent appears to be a conventional, high-finesse italic serif for continuous reading, emphasizing classic proportions and calligraphic stroke logic. It aims to deliver an elegant, authoritative tone while maintaining clarity and even color in text settings.
In text, the strong contrast and narrow hairlines produce a shimmering texture that rewards generous size and comfortable line spacing. Numerals appear in an oldstyle style with varying heights and a gentle flow that matches the italic lowercase, supporting a cohesive reading rhythm across mixed text and figures.
