This typeface is a right-leaning serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic rhythm with tapered terminals, especially in the curved letters, and a subtle diagonal stress that keeps counters lively. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: moderate ascenders/descenders, compact lowercase with clear differentiation, and numerals that share the same italic slant and contrast. Overall spacing reads even, while the slanted forms create a gently dynamic line texture in text.
It works best where an expressive serif italic is expected: book and magazine italics, pull quotes, captions with emphasis, and refined headlines. The strong contrast and slant also suit elegant printed materials such as invitations or programs, particularly at medium to larger sizes where its hairlines and serifs can stay crisp.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with an editorial, literary feel. Its strong italic posture and high contrast bring a sense of elegance and emphasis, suitable for sophisticated, traditional typography rather than utilitarian UI work.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic with a classical, calligraphic construction. It aims to provide clear emphasis within text while maintaining a polished, traditional typographic color.
Capitals are relatively narrow and dignified, with sharp entry/exit strokes that reinforce the italic motion. The lowercase shows a distinctly oldstyle, pen-driven feel, and the figures maintain the same refined contrast, helping numerals sit comfortably alongside text.
