This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a crisp, calligraphic modulation and strongly slanted rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with tapered terminals and a pronounced thick–thin axis that gives letters a polished, engraved feel. Proportions are compact and text-oriented, with relatively narrow lowercase forms and a steady baseline flow; joins and curves are smooth, and counters stay open enough to remain clear in running text despite the contrast.
It suits editorial typography where an elegant italic voice is needed—book and magazine text, pull quotes, intros, captions, and refined brand collateral. It can also work well for formal invitations or announcements where a classic, italic serif tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting tradition and careful craftsmanship rather than blunt utility. Its italic energy reads expressive and cultured, lending a sense of motion and emphasis without becoming informal.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-first italic with strong typographic color and a classical serif vocabulary, providing a distinctive yet controlled emphasis style for extended reading and editorial use.
Capitals show a dignified, slightly swashed silhouette in places, while the lowercase maintains a consistent cursive structure with clean entry and exit strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic stance, aligning visually with text for cohesive settings.
