This is a high-contrast italic serif with finely tapered hairlines and sharp, triangular entry and exit strokes. The forms show a strong diagonal stress and a lively, calligraphic rhythm, with bracketed serifs that often resolve into pointed, wedge-like terminals. Uppercase letters are relatively narrow with crisp apexes and slender cross strokes, while the lowercase is more fluid, featuring long ascenders, gently looping descenders, and pronounced stroke modulation. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varied heights and flowing curves, reinforcing the text-like, traditional construction.
It suits editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed with strong contrast and polish. It also works well for formal materials—programs, invitations, and refined branding—especially at display sizes where the sharp terminals and stroke modulation can be appreciated.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, combining formality with a sense of motion from the italic slant and pen-like contrast. It reads as classic and refined rather than austere, lending a touch of sophistication to headings and text that benefits from a traditional voice.
The design appears intended as a classic italic companion for text typography, emphasizing readability through familiar serif structures while adding expressive, calligraphic movement. Its high contrast and pointed terminals suggest a focus on elegance and emphasis rather than utilitarian neutrality.
Spacing and silhouette show noticeable variation from character to character, creating an organic texture typical of italic text serifs. Several letters exhibit pronounced hooks and tapered terminals (notably in the lowercase), giving the face a slightly decorative edge while remaining rooted in conventional serif proportions.
