This typeface is a slanted serif with strongly modulated strokes and crisp, bracketed serifs. Curves show a clear diagonal stress and smooth swelling into thin hairlines, giving letters a polished, engraved rhythm. Proportions are moderately narrow with generous internal space, and the overall color stays even despite the sharp contrast. Uppercase forms are stately and spacious, while the lowercase is fluid and compact, with a gently calligraphic flow through joins and terminals.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or a more elegant tone. It also fits formal branding and printed pieces like invitations or programs, especially when used at display or subhead sizes that can showcase its contrast and finishing.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a poised, editorial elegance that feels traditional rather than ornamental. Its italic stance reads confident and expressive, lending emphasis without becoming decorative or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif italic with a more elevated, high-finish character—balancing classic proportions with lively stroke modulation for sophisticated text setting and polished typographic emphasis.
The numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with clear, classic shapes and tapered terminals that match the text. In the sample paragraph, wordforms remain coherent and smooth at larger sizes, where the hairlines and serifs become part of the visual texture.
