This is a right-leaning serif with a calligraphic construction and pronounced wedge-like terminals. Strokes show clear modulation with tapered entrances and exits, and the serifs read as flared/bracketed rather than flat slabs. Curves are generous and smoothly drawn, while joins and interior corners stay crisp, giving the face a lively rhythm. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with a moderate x-height, compact apertures, and expressive italic forms that keep counters open enough for display sizing.
It performs best where its italic character and sharp terminals can be appreciated: editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, cultural posters, and premium packaging. The strong slant and lively texture make it especially effective for short-to-medium runs of text such as subheads, standfirsts, and quotes.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with an energetic, slightly dramatic slant that suggests tradition more than minimalism. It conveys confidence and sophistication, suitable for voices that want to feel established and editorial rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, editorial italic voice with noticeable movement and refined stroke endings, offering a traditional serif feel while remaining expressive and attention-grabbing in display contexts.
Capitals are prominent and sculpted, with strong diagonal stress and decisive finishing strokes that add momentum across words. Numerals follow the same italicized, wedge-terminal logic, reading assertive and distinctive in headings and pullouts.
