This typeface is a slanted serif with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and a moderately calligraphic construction. Strokes show a clear diagonal stress and tapered terminals, with smooth transitions at joins and a steady, readable rhythm in text. The lowercase is compact and energetic with a generous x-height, while ascenders and capitals add a slightly formal, bookish presence. Numerals follow the same serifed, italicized flow, with rounded forms and consistent terminal treatment.
It suits editorial layouts and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed—introductions, pull quotes, captions, and emphasized passages—while also working for refined headlines in magazines or book jackets. The clear shapes and steady rhythm make it a strong choice for print-oriented typography and formal collateral that benefits from a classic serif tone.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with an editorial polish that suggests cultured, established typography rather than overt display styling. Its italic angle and calligraphic details add warmth and motion, giving text a personable, slightly expressive character while remaining restrained.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, readable serif italic with enough calligraphic nuance to feel lively, but with disciplined proportions and consistent detailing for sustained text use.
Capitals are sturdy and relatively wide in stance, balancing the livelier lowercase. Counters stay open in letters like e, a, and s, supporting clarity at reading sizes, while the italic slant creates a continuous forward rhythm across lines.
