This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with strongly modulated strokes and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and delicate, with a pronounced rightward slant and a flowing, calligraphic construction in both capitals and lowercase. The lowercase shows compact, angled joins and narrow apertures, while the capitals combine sharp entry strokes with wide, rounded bowls (notably in C, O, Q) that give the set an elegant rhythm. Numerals follow the same italic stress and contrast, with thin hairlines and curving forms that read as text-oriented rather than geometric.
It suits long-form and editorial contexts where an italic voice is needed—introductions, quotations, captions, pull quotes, and emphasized passages in books or magazines. It also works well for formal printed materials such as invitations and programs, where a refined, traditional texture is desirable.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and formal correspondence. Its energetic italic movement adds a sense of sophistication and ceremony, with a distinctly literary, editorial feel.
The design appears intended as a classic text serif italic with strong calligraphic influence, balancing sharpness and grace for refined reading and emphasis. Its construction prioritizes elegant rhythm and a familiar literary texture over overtly modern or experimental shapes.
At smaller sizes the thin hairlines and tight internal spaces may require careful setting and sufficient contrast to preserve clarity. The italic angle is assertive, making it visually prominent even without increased weight.
