This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and compact, bracketed serifs that often resolve into pointed terminals. The slant is consistent and moderately steep, with narrow internal counters and a lively, slightly calligraphic modulation that gives letters a directional flow. Capitals are elegant and somewhat narrow with pronounced entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase shows a smooth rhythm and rounded joins; the overall color on the page stays crisp despite the strong thick–thin transitions.
It performs best in short to medium passages where an italic voice is desired—editorial callouts, epigraphs, pull quotes, and book-jacket typography. The distinctive contrast and tapered details also suit refined branding, menus, and invitations where a classic, expressive serif italic can carry the tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a refined, formal presence that feels suited to traditional typography. Its energetic italic construction adds a sense of motion and elegance, reading as expressive rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional serif italic with pronounced contrast and calligraphic influence, offering an expressive, polished voice for emphasis and display. Its consistent slant and crisp modulation suggest a focus on elegance and rhythmic text texture over neutrality.
Curved letters show pronounced tapering at terminals, and several glyphs feature subtly flamboyant flicks that increase stylistic character in display sizes. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, giving mixed text a cohesive, editorial feel.
