This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs and a calligraphic stroke flow. Curves show pronounced thick–thin modulation and smooth, slightly flattened joins, giving counters a polished, elliptical feel. The italic angle is steady and fairly assertive, with long entry/exit strokes and occasional teardrop-like terminals that add movement without becoming overly ornate. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, and spacing reads even in text, while individual glyphs show subtle width variation typical of an italic text face.
It performs well for editorial typography where italic is used for emphasis—book and long-form publishing, magazine features, pull quotes, and refined marketing copy. It can also serve in elegant short-form applications like invitations or cultural branding where a traditional, crafted italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is refined and literary, evoking classic book typography and formal editorial settings. Its crisp contrast and sweeping italics lend a confident, expressive voice suitable for emphasis, quotations, and elegant display without losing a conventional, trustworthy character.
The design appears intended as a conventional yet expressive italic serif for text-driven settings, combining classic proportions with pronounced contrast and fluid, calligraphic detailing. Its goal seems to be readability at typical text sizes while offering a distinctly elegant italic color for emphasis and tone-setting.
Uppercase forms feel stately and clean, while the lowercase carries more of the personality through lively tails, angled stress, and dynamic terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic rhythm, integrating well with running text and titling.
