This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and finely tapered hairlines. Strokes show a calligraphic modulation, with thicker verticals and diagonals paired with sharp, delicate serifs that feel lightly bracketed rather than blocky. The capitals are narrow and poised with crisp terminals, while the lowercase is more fluid, featuring compact, slanted counters and energetic entry/exit strokes. Overall spacing reads slightly irregular in a natural, handwritten way, giving lines a lively rhythm without sacrificing clarity.
It works well for continuous reading and editorial composition where an italic voice is needed—introductions, quotations, emphasis, captions, and literary or academic settings. It can also serve display roles at larger sizes for elegant headings or pull quotes where its contrast and slant can be appreciated.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, suggesting literary sophistication and a formal, old-world elegance. Its italic motion adds a sense of emphasis and ceremony, suitable for expressive but disciplined typography rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that balances readability with classical calligraphic character. Its strong stroke modulation and crisp serif detailing aim to deliver a refined typographic color suitable for formal publishing and editorial typography.
The figures follow the same italic construction and contrast, with distinctive, curved forms (notably in 2, 3, 5, and 9) that reinforce a classic text-italic color. The lowercase includes a looped g and a long, slightly calligraphic f, contributing to a refined, bookish texture in paragraph settings.
