This typeface is an italic serif with pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes and a steady rightward slant. Serifs and terminals are tapered and softly flared, with smooth bracketing that blends into stems rather than ending abruptly. The curves are generous and slightly calligraphic, giving round letters a lively, drawn quality, while capitals maintain a dignified, inscriptional stance. Overall spacing feels open and comfortable, supporting a flowing rhythm in text.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book titles, pull quotes, and refined packaging or identity work that benefits from an elegant italic voice. It performs best at display and larger text sizes where the contrast and tapered endings can be appreciated and where a classic, premium tone is needed.
The tone is polished and literary, combining a traditional bookish feel with a touch of dramatic elegance. Its slanted, high-contrast construction reads as expressive and cultured, suitable for sophisticated, classic-forward design where a sense of craft is desired.
The design appears intended to offer a classic italic serif optimized for expressive reading and sophisticated headlines, using strong stroke modulation and subtly flared terminals to create movement and distinction without sacrificing typographic restraint.
Lowercase forms show energetic entry/exit strokes and a consistent cursive movement, while numerals and capitals keep the same contrast and tapered finishing for a cohesive voice. The letterforms favor clarity over ornamental excess, with emphasis coming primarily from stroke modulation and flare rather than decorative details.
