This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered stems and fine, hairline serifs. The letterforms lean with a steady, consistent slant and show a clear calligraphic influence, with diagonal stress and lively modulation between thick and thin strokes. Serifs are small and bracketed, terminals are crisp, and curves are drawn with a smooth, controlled tension. Proportions feel traditional, with moderately open counters and a measured rhythm that keeps words cohesive in text.
It performs well in editorial settings where an italic with strong tradition is needed—book typography, magazine features, pull quotes, and introductory paragraphs. It is also appropriate for formal collateral such as invitations or announcements, especially where a refined, classical voice is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and cultivated, evoking classic book typography and formal publishing. Its italic energy reads poised rather than flamboyant, giving it a scholarly, literary character suited to refined messaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a distinctly calligraphic stroke contrast. It prioritizes a smooth reading rhythm and a cultivated, print-oriented feel, providing an elegant companion voice for emphasis and secondary typographic roles.
Capitals are stately and restrained, while the lowercase carries most of the motion through curved entry and exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, appearing designed to blend seamlessly into running text rather than stand apart as blunt, utilitarian figures.
