This is a high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear diagonal, calligraphic stress. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, with sharp entry strokes and occasional teardrop-like terminals, giving many forms a slightly engraved feel. Capitals are compact and stately with crisp hairlines, while the lowercase shows a flowing italic rhythm, narrow internal counters, and lively joins. Figures and letters share a consistent slant and weight distribution, producing a cohesive, polished texture in continuous text.
It suits editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors, especially for emphasis, introductions, and pull quotes. It also works well for formal headlines, invitations, and brand voice elements that want a classic serif tone with a more animated italic character.
The overall tone reads traditional and editorial, with a confident, slightly dramatic flair. Its sharp hairlines and brisk italic movement suggest sophistication and formality, while the calligraphic details add expressiveness suited to refined, classic typography.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional serif reading experience while leveraging an expressive italic model for emphasis and elegance. Its controlled proportions and consistent stroke logic suggest an intent to perform reliably in text while adding a refined, traditional personality.
The design’s contrast and tight apertures make it most comfortable at moderate-to-large sizes where the hairlines and small counters can breathe. The italic construction feels intentionally text-oriented rather than purely decorative, maintaining consistent spacing and a steady baseline rhythm in paragraphs.
