This typeface is a delicate, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. Serifs are fine and sharp with a lightly calligraphic feel, and curves show smooth, controlled tension, especially in rounded capitals and the two-storey forms in the lowercase. Ascenders are tall and slender, counters are fairly open, and the overall rhythm is airy and clean, with narrow joins and a polished, engraved-like finish.
It suits editorial layouts, book and long-form reading environments where a refined italic voice is needed, and high-end brand systems that benefit from a classic, polished serif. It will also work well for invitations and formal announcements, especially at text and display sizes where its contrast can remain crisp.
The tone is cultivated and classic, evoking book typography and fashion/editorial refinement. Its steep elegance and restrained ornament read as formal and premium rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, high-contrast serif italic with a literate, classical cadence—balancing sharp hairlines and crisp serifs with smooth, readable proportions for polished typography.
The italic construction is consistent across uppercase and lowercase, with noticeably cursive inflections in letters like a, f, g, j, and y. Numerals echo the same contrast and refined terminals, giving figures a poised, old-world sophistication that pairs naturally with the letterforms.
