This typeface is a right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly tapered, calligraphic stroke flow. Serifs are bracketed and sharp-edged, with wedge-like terminals and a lively entry/exit behavior that gives letters a forward motion. Uppercase forms are sturdy and slightly compact, while lowercase shows more cursive influence with rounded joins, angled stress, and energetic descenders. Numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast construction with crisp curves and pointed finishing strokes.
It performs best for display and short-to-medium passages where a strong italic voice is desired, such as editorial headlines, pull quotes, book-cover titling, and cultural or luxury branding. The high-contrast construction and crisp terminals can also work in invitations or certificates when paired with generous spacing and comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, with a sense of editorial authority and old-world refinement. Its strong contrast and italic rhythm add drama and momentum, making text feel emphatic and intentional rather than neutral. The impression is confident and classic—suited to contexts that want sophistication and presence.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif foundation with an expressive italic character—combining classical proportions with a more calligraphic, forward-driving rhythm. It emphasizes elegance and emphasis, offering a refined voice that stands out clearly in headings and featured text.
The design maintains a consistent diagonal stress and a tight, rhythmic texture in running text, producing a dark, continuous color at display sizes. Pointed terminals and narrow internal counters in some letters contribute to a dramatic silhouette and a slightly ornamental edge without becoming decorative.
