This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and finely tapered strokes. Serifs are sharp and mostly bracketed, with wedge-like terminals that give the outlines a crisp, engraved feel. Curves are smooth and continuous, with lively entry/exit strokes and a consistent diagonal stress; counters remain open despite the thin hairlines. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: uppercase is stately and slightly narrow, while lowercase shows a restrained x-height with long, graceful ascenders and descenders.
It suits long-form publishing where italics play a structural role—book typography, magazine features, and editorial layouts—especially for emphasis, quotations, captions, and pull quotes. It also works well for formal materials such as invitations and programs where a classic, refined italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, suggesting classic editorial typography rather than casual display. Its bright, delicate hairlines and sweeping italics convey sophistication, ceremony, and a slightly romantic, old-world flavor.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a strong calligraphic sensibility—prioritizing graceful rhythm, clear word shapes, and an elevated, traditional tone in running text.
Several capitals and numerals show pronounced diagonal strokes and fine terminals, which heighten the sense of motion and refinement. The italic rhythm is smooth and even in text, but the thinnest details look intended for comfortable sizes rather than tiny UI settings.
