This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The strokes show a calligraphic rhythm, with tapered entries, pointed terminals, and occasional swash-like curves that add movement without becoming ornate. Capitals are relatively narrow and upright in structure while still leaning with the italic angle, and the lowercase features compact proportions with lively ascenders and descenders. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, with rounded forms and small curls that echo the letter terminals.
It fits well in editorial contexts such as magazine headings, pull quotes, and refined advertising where a confident italic voice is desirable. The style also lends itself to book covers, chapter openers, packaging, and formal event materials that benefit from a classic, premium feel.
The overall tone feels traditional and polished, with an editorial sophistication and a sense of crafted handwriting translated into a formal serif. Its energetic italic flow gives it a persuasive, expressive voice suited to emphasis and display, while remaining grounded in conventional book-type manners.
The design appears intended to provide a formal italic companion with strong contrast and clear serif structure, balancing readability with a distinctive, calligraphic flair. It aims to deliver a luxurious, traditional impression while keeping enough restraint for polished text and headline use.
Across the alphabet, the stress and contrast appear consistent, and the spacing produces a steady, forward-moving texture in text. Several letters show distinctive curls and hooks (notably in descenders and some capitals), which can add personality at larger sizes and create a more animated word shape.
