This typeface is a slanted, high‑contrast serif with strongly modulated strokes and sharp, bracketed serifs. The italic construction shows calligraphic influence: curved entries, tapered terminals, and a lively rhythm that varies in width across the line. Uppercase forms feel formal and sculpted with crisp hairlines and pronounced thick stems, while lowercase letters are compact and energetic, with rounded bowls and angled joins. Numerals follow the same italic stress and contrast, reading clearly with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes.
It works well for editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed with strong tradition and clarity. The contrast and lively cursive structure also suit pull quotes, introductions, and elegant headings where texture and rhythm matter.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a classic bookish sophistication. Its pronounced contrast and italic momentum give it a sense of elegance and motion, suitable for expressive but still conventional typography.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic companion for text settings—expressive and calligraphically informed, yet disciplined enough for continuous reading. Its high contrast and crisp serifs aim to deliver a refined, authoritative tone in print-style compositions.
Letterforms show consistent rightward stress and a polished, print-oriented finish, with sharp apexes and tapered endings that keep the texture bright even at larger sizes. The italic slant is steady and contributes to a cohesive, flowing word shape in continuous text.
