This typeface is a slanted serif with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm and crisp, tapered stroke endings. Serifs are bracketed and understated, with pointed terminals and gently curved joins that keep the texture even at text sizes. Capitals are relatively narrow and poised, with classical proportions and subtle modulation through curves and diagonals. Lowercase forms show lively italics cues—single‑storey a, a looped g, and a flowing f and y—creating a continuous rightward motion without becoming overly decorative. Numerals follow the same italic logic, staying open and readable while retaining the refined, tapered finish.
It suits editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, captions, or refined long-form reading. The graceful capitals also make it appropriate for literary titling, programs, invitations, and other formal print applications that benefit from a classic, polished serif italic.
The overall tone is cultured and polished, evoking editorial tradition and careful typesetting. Its slant and tapered details add a sense of motion and sophistication, making it feel expressive yet disciplined rather than casual.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic companion with a literary feel: expressive enough to signal emphasis and hierarchy, while controlled enough to remain legible and even in continuous text.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep counters clear, and the consistent slant across letters and figures helps maintain a coherent, continuous texture in paragraph settings. The design favors sharp apexes and clean curves, producing a bright, high-clarity page color.
