This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes move from very fine hairlines to strong main stems, with bracketed serifs and tapered, wedge-like entry and exit strokes that create crisp, directional terminals. The proportions are on the wider side, with open counters and generous interior space that keep letters from feeling cramped, while ascenders and descenders are lively and moderately long. Overall spacing reads even and text-color is relatively dark for an italic, giving the design a confident, print-oriented presence.
It performs best in editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where a refined italic is needed for emphasis. The strong contrast and confident slant also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials like invitations or programs, especially at text-to-display sizes where its modulation and terminals can be appreciated.
The tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial refinement. Its energetic italic motion feels expressive without becoming flamboyant, lending a sense of polish and seriousness suited to formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-centric serif italic that balances readability with expressive calligraphic character. Its wide proportions and open counters aim to keep texture clear in continuous text while preserving the elegance and authority associated with classical serif typography.
Curved letters show a clear diagonal stress and smooth modulation, and the italics are fully integrated rather than merely slanted—seen in the lively lowercase shapes and the swash-like descenders on letters such as f and y. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, producing a cohesive texture alongside text.
