This is a high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, giving strokes a chiseled, calligraphic finish rather than a blunt cutoff. The italic construction is evident throughout, with a rightward slant, dynamic entry/exit strokes, and a lively baseline rhythm. Counters are relatively open and the overall drawing feels precise and slightly condensed in gesture, with capitals showing controlled classical proportions and lowercase showing energetic, pen-influenced curves.
It performs well for book and long-form editorial typography where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or introductory matter. The crisp contrast and formal shaping also suit invitations, cultural programs, and premium branding applications where a classic serif voice is appropriate.
The font conveys a literary, traditional tone with a touch of drama from its strong contrast and sharp finishing. Its italic movement and sculpted serifs suggest sophistication and formality, suited to refined, cultured messaging rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with heightened contrast and calligraphic finishing, balancing readability with expressive, elegant motion. Its forms prioritize a refined page texture and a traditional typographic voice suitable for editorial use.
Uppercase forms read stately and stable, while the lowercase shows more pronounced cursive influence (notably in forms like a, e, g, and y), creating a clear hierarchy between text and display settings. Numerals follow the same contrast logic with elegant curves and thin joining strokes, maintaining a consistent, polished color in running text.
