This is a high-contrast serif italic with distinctly bracketed serifs and a strong rightward slant. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals, producing a crisp, engraved-like texture at larger sizes. The capitals feel formal and steady with sharp, triangular entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase is more fluid and calligraphic, with lively joins and rounded counters. Overall proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height and clear differentiation between straight stems and curved bowls, giving the face a rhythmic, text-oriented color.
It suits editorial and long-form typography where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary hierarchy within serif text. The strong contrast and crisp serifs also make it effective for magazine features, essays, and refined print collateral where a classic tone is desired.
The font conveys a traditional, literary tone with a refined, slightly dramatic italic voice. Its contrast and pointed detailing add elegance and authority, suggesting editorial seriousness rather than casual informality.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-centric serif italic that combines classical structure with calligraphic motion. Its goal is to deliver elegant emphasis and a cultured reading texture while remaining coherent and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Curves and diagonals are emphasized by pronounced tapering, and several letters show energetic, slightly sweeping italic construction that increases motion in running text. Numerals match the italic texture and contrast, maintaining the same sharpness and formal cadence as the letterforms.
