This typeface presents a sharply inclined serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs read as small wedges and subtle flares rather than blunt slabs, with many strokes finishing in pointed or beaked endings that reinforce a fast, pen-like rhythm. Capitals are relatively narrow and poised, while lowercase forms are compact with a modest x-height and lively entry/exit strokes; the overall texture is open and bright, with delicate hairlines and strong vertical emphasis.
It suits editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an expressive italic voice is desired. It also performs well for invitations, programs, and pull quotes, adding elegance and momentum to short passages and emphasis within running text.
The tone is sophisticated and literary, evoking traditional book typography and formal correspondence. Its energetic italic angle and calligraphic finishing give it a sense of motion and finesse, while the high-contrast structure keeps it polished and upscale.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic with a distinctly calligraphic edge—combining traditional serif construction with tapered, flared finishing to create an articulate, premium text and display accent.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same sharp contrast and tapered detailing, creating a consistent, refined color across mixed-case settings. In longer text, the slanted forms and narrow proportions produce a graceful, slightly dramatic flow that benefits from comfortable line spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
