This typeface is an italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and softly flared terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast with thick, tapered diagonals and narrower hairlines, giving letters a lively, drawn rhythm rather than a purely geometric one. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with stems that subtly broaden toward the ends; curves are full and slightly asymmetric, and joins feel modeled as if from a broad nib. The overall color is firm and dark, with narrow proportions and energetic spacing that keeps lines moving forward.
It suits editorial design, book work, and magazine typography where an italic voice is needed with more character than a neutral text face. The strong, flared finishing and compact width also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding or packaging that benefits from a classic, literary feel.
The tone is traditional and refined, evoking book typography, classical publishing, and formal correspondence. Its slanted, expressive shapes add warmth and motion, balancing seriousness with a slightly dramatic, cultivated character.
The design appears intended to translate traditional italic calligraphy into a sturdy serif typeface with flared finishing, offering a confident, readable texture and a distinctly historic, print-oriented personality.
Uppercase forms read stately and compact, while the lowercase carries most of the personality through tapered entry/exit strokes and emphatic diagonals. Numerals and capitals keep a consistent italic stress, helping the font feel unified in running text as well as in short display lines.
