This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic rhythm: entry and exit strokes taper, joins feel lively, and terminals often end in sharp, slightly hooked details. Capitals are stately with classic proportions and clean vertical stress, while the lowercase is more animated, with a gently flowing italic construction, a single-story “a,” and compact, carefully shaped bowls. Numerals follow the same contrasty, angled logic, with clear, open counters and refined curves.
It is well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and other long-form settings where an italic is needed for emphasis with a classic feel. It also works effectively in headlines, pull quotes, and refined print materials such as invitations or programs where high-contrast detail and a formal tone are desirable.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional book typography and formal correspondence. The energetic italic slant adds a sense of movement and emphasis without becoming decorative, keeping the voice poised and authoritative.
The design intention appears to be a conventional, high-contrast italic serif that provides an elegant companion for continuous reading and typographic emphasis. Its controlled proportions and sharp finishing details suggest a focus on traditional refinement and strong editorial presence.
Spacing appears even and text color is moderately dark for an italic, with high contrast creating a crisp texture at display and text sizes. The italic forms maintain clear differentiation between similar shapes (for example, round letters versus angled stems), supporting legibility while preserving a distinctly classical character.
