This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with pointed, blade-like finishing on many strokes that gives the letters a crisp, etched feel. Curves are generously drawn and slightly asymmetric in the way they transition into joins, while straight stems remain taut, producing a lively texture in text. Uppercase forms feel formal and stable, while the lowercase shows more movement, with flowing entry/exit strokes and compact, angled terminals that reinforce the italic construction.
Well suited to editorial settings where an italic voice is needed—introductions, emphasis, pull quotes, and refined magazine typography. It also fits formal print pieces such as invitations and programs, and can lend a classic, premium tone to branding and packaging when set at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, suggesting classic book culture and editorial refinement. Its energetic slant and sharp finishing details add a touch of drama and sophistication without becoming ornate, making it feel suited to premium, traditional typography.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with heightened elegance through strong contrast, sharp serifs, and a lively, calligraphic flow. It aims to balance classic proportions with expressive movement for polished text typography.
In running text the contrast and slender serifs create a bright page color, with clear word shapes and a rhythmic, handwritten-influenced cadence. Figures follow the same slanted, contrasty logic, reading as refined rather than utilitarian.
