This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Thick-to-thin contrast is clear across both capitals and lowercase, with tapered joins and pointed, wedge-like bracketing in the serifs. Curves are smooth and slightly expansive, giving round letters a generous footprint, while diagonals and entry strokes sharpen to fine terminals. The overall rhythm is lively and directional, with consistent italic angle and carefully shaped counters that keep letters open and legible in text.
It performs well in editorial layouts, book or long-form typography where an italic voice is needed, and in refined display applications like invitations or formal announcements. The strong contrast and directional rhythm also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and branding elements that benefit from a classic, cultivated feel.
The font projects a polished, editorial tone—confident and traditional, with a touch of flourish. Its crisp contrast and energetic slant suggest sophistication and authority rather than casualness, making it feel suited to classic, well-crafted typography.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic companion with an expressive, pen-informed structure—balancing formal serif conventions with a lively, handwritten cadence for elegant reading and emphasis.
Capitals appear sturdy and stately, with sharp internal notches and tapered endings that reinforce the italic motion. The lowercase shows varied, cursive-leaning forms (notably in letters like a, f, g, and y), and the numerals follow the same high-contrast, angled logic for a cohesive texture in mixed settings.
