This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and finely cut, with a calligraphic feel in the way strokes transition into terminals and entry strokes. Capitals show classical proportions with generous curves and open counters, while the lowercase features flowing italic construction with a single-story “a” and “g,” long ascenders, and subtly lively joins. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with delicate curves and angled stress that keep the texture light and airy in continuous text.
It performs well in editorial settings such as magazine features, book typography, and pull quotes where an elegant italic voice is desired. The refined contrast and classic serif detailing also suit invitations, formal announcements, and brand identities that need a traditional, upscale tone. Larger sizes highlight the crisp terminals and stroke modulation for display typography.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking editorial and bookish refinement rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its graceful slant and sharp contrast suggest formality and a sense of tradition, making it feel suited to cultured, composed messaging.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif text companion with a distinctly calligraphic italic personality—prioritizing graceful movement, classic proportions, and a refined page color for reading-oriented compositions.
The italic is expressive without becoming overly decorative, with clear differentiation between letterforms and a consistent diagonal movement across words. In text, the rhythm reads smooth and continuous, while the sharp hairlines and tapered details become more prominent at larger sizes.
