This typeface is a slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes show a calligraphic impulse, with tapered terminals and gently cupped serifs that stay elegant rather than heavy. The capitals feel broad and open, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with rounded joins, compact bowls, and clear entry/exit strokes that reinforce the diagonal flow. Numerals follow the same high-contrast pattern and include curled, slightly decorative terminals that keep the texture lively in running text.
It suits long-form reading in books and essays where an elegant, traditional serif texture is desired, and it also performs well for editorial headlines and magazine layouts that benefit from contrast and motion. The distinctive numerals and lively terminals can add refinement to invitations, programs, and other formal print pieces.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional print typography with an editorial polish. Its sharp modulation and confident slant give it a spirited, slightly dramatic voice without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with a pronounced italic voice—balancing readability with a calligraphic energy and refined detailing for print-oriented typography.
The slant is consistent across cases, and the shapes maintain a clean, controlled texture that reads well at text sizes while becoming more expressive at display sizes. Details like the curved tail on the Q and the curled descenders add character without disrupting the overall coherence.
