This is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced forward slant and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with sheared, angled terminals and compact, bracketed wedge-like serifs that often read as sharp hooks on curves. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow, while the lowercase is more fluid, with energetic entry/exit strokes and noticeable curvature in bowls and shoulders. Figures follow the same italic rhythm, mixing sharp angles with rounded forms for a lively, text-oriented texture.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or stylistic texture. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal announcements when a traditional, literary feel is desired.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking bookish elegance and traditional editorial typography. Its crisp modulation and energetic italic movement add a sense of sophistication and formality without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a strong nod to broad-nib and oldstyle traditions, balancing readability with expressive, calligraphic detail. It prioritizes a graceful reading rhythm and a polished, classic presence for editorial typography.
In longer text the face creates a strong diagonal rhythm and clear word shapes, with a slightly animated baseline feel from the sweeping curves and terminals. The contrast and fine hairlines suggest it will look best when given adequate size and clean reproduction, especially in print-like layouts.
