This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with clearly calligraphic construction and a pronounced diagonal axis. Strokes transition sharply from thick stems to fine hairlines, with bracketed serifs and tapered, teardrop-like terminals that lend a sculpted finish. Capitals are slightly narrow and forward-leaning with crisp, triangular entry strokes, while the lowercase shows flowing joins, a single-storey a, a descending f with a strong hook, and a looping g. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, mixing sturdy main strokes with delicate finishing hairlines for a lively texture.
It suits editorial typography where an italic voice is meant to carry emphasis with elegance—magazine features, pull quotes, and refined headers. The sharp contrast and decorative terminals also make it effective for book titles, invitations, and premium branding, especially at medium to large sizes where its hairlines and tapering details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, with a distinctly bookish, editorial flavor. Its energetic slant and sharp contrast give it a sense of motion and ceremony, reading as traditional and cultured rather than casual.
The design appears intended to provide a classical, high-contrast italic with strong calligraphic cues—an italic that can function both as an expressive companion style and as a standalone display voice. Its detailing prioritizes refinement and a polished print-like texture over blunt robustness.
The rhythm is consistent and moderately tight, with sharp internal counters and fine details that become more prominent at larger sizes. Several characters show expressive swashes and curled terminals (notably in j, y, and some numerals), reinforcing a formal, engraved-like italic personality.
