This typeface is a serif italic with pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes and a clear, calligraphic construction. Stems taper into subtly flared, bracketed serifs, and many terminals finish with crisp, angled cuts. The italic slant is consistent and moderately steep, with smooth entry/exit strokes that give the letters a flowing rhythm. Uppercase forms are relatively narrow and poised, while the lowercase shows lively modulation and distinctive italics such as a single-storey a and a looped g, contributing to an uneven, text-like color typical of traditional italics.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as book and magazine settings, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or titles. It also fits formal printed materials—programs, invitations, and cultural or literary branding—where a classical, refined tone is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and bookish, evoking classic publishing and formal correspondence. Its sharp, sweeping italics add a sense of movement and sophistication without feeling decorative for its own sake.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, high-contrast italic with a distinctly calligraphic skeleton and flared serif endings, balancing elegance with readability. Its proportions and rhythmic stroke modulation aim to create a sophisticated text texture that feels at home in established, print-oriented contexts.
Figures are italic as well, with curving strokes and noticeable modulation that harmonize with the letterforms rather than reading as separate, upright lining numerals. The design favors graceful diagonals and tapered joins, producing a slightly sparkling texture at larger sizes and a traditional, refined presence in continuous text.
