This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes move from fine hairlines to firm verticals, with smooth joins and a gently slanted axis that reads clean rather than decorative. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with moderate extenders and open internal spaces that keep letters like e, a, and s clear at text sizes. The figures follow the same italic cadence, with slender forms and sharp finishing strokes that match the alphabet’s refinement.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, captions, or secondary hierarchy. It can also serve for refined headlines or short titles when a traditional, high-end tone is desired, especially in print-oriented layouts.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, projecting a sense of tradition, editorial polish, and quiet sophistication. Its italic voice feels expressive and literary without becoming flamboyant, making it suitable for nuanced emphasis and elegant titling.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances classical formality with a controlled, pen-inspired motion. Its emphasis is on readable elegance—using contrast, careful serif shaping, and measured slant to deliver a polished, editorial character.
Capitals are stately and restrained, relying on contrast and serif finesse rather than flourish for distinction. The lowercase shows clear cursive influences—particularly in the entry/exit strokes and the flowing shapes of f, g, y, and j—helping longer passages maintain a smooth baseline movement.
