This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, calligraphic construction. Serifs are bracketed and relatively fine, with tapered, sharp terminals and subtly cupped joins that give strokes a carved, pen-led feel. The forms show diagonal stress in rounded letters, narrow-ish inner counters, and a slightly condensed, forward-leaning rhythm. Numerals and punctuation follow the same refined contrast and slanted stance, producing a cohesive, text-oriented texture with a lively shimmer at larger sizes.
It works well for editorial typography such as magazines, features, and book interior or chapter titling where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also serve for refined branding, invitations, and pull quotes, especially when set with generous spacing and high-quality reproduction.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with an old-world elegance that feels suited to cultivated, formal communication. Its energetic slant and sharp detailing add a sense of motion and sophistication rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic edge—combining readable text proportions with expressive, high-contrast stroke behavior for a more elevated, editorial tone.
Uppercase shapes read as stately and controlled while the lowercase adds more fluidity through tapered exits and gently curved joins. The italic angle is consistent across letters and figures, and the contrast is strong enough to be expressive without becoming decorative.
