This serif displays sharp, finely bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation, giving strokes a crisp, engraved feel. The letterforms lean gently with a consistent italic slant, while counters stay relatively open and the overall set reads on a slightly generous horizontal footprint. Curves and terminals show subtle calligraphic shaping—especially in the diagonals and rounded letters—creating a lively rhythm without becoming ornate.
It works well for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interior text where an italic voice is desirable. The strong contrast and clear serif structure also make it effective for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials like invitations or programs.
The overall tone is polished and bookish, with a sense of tradition and formality. Its italic energy adds momentum and sophistication, suggesting editorial seriousness rather than playful display.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with an italic-forward personality: classic proportions, crisp contrast, and enough calligraphic nuance to add elegance and pace. It aims to feel authoritative and cultivated while remaining practical for real text settings.
Capitals look stately with controlled contrast and confident serifs, while the lowercase maintains a steady flow suited to continuous reading. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, keeping the texture consistent across mixed text.
