This serif italic shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp, tapered terminals and bracketed wedge-like serifs. The slant is moderate and consistent, with a lively, slightly calligraphic construction that keeps strokes crisp rather than brushy. Counters are open and oval, curves are smooth, and joins are clean, producing a steady reading rhythm. Overall proportions feel balanced: capitals are stately and restrained while lowercase forms are compact and clearly differentiated, with italic-specific shapes (notably a single-storey a and flowing entry/exit strokes) contributing to a cohesive texture.
It performs especially well for italic roles in long-form typography—emphasis, quotes, captions, and setting off titles within text. The crisp contrast and classic detailing also suit editorial layouts, magazine features, and formal communications where a traditional serif italic is expected.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish tone with an elegant, slightly dramatic italic flair. Its contrast and pointed detailing add a sense of refinement and formality, while the slanted rhythm keeps it energetic and expressive without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with elevated contrast and carefully shaped serifs, providing a credible, classical voice for reading while offering enough stroke drama to stand out in emphasis and display-leaning editorial moments.
In text, the strong contrast and narrow hairlines create a bright, high-definition color that suits generous sizes and comfortable line spacing. Numerals appear aligned in an oldstyle-like manner, reinforcing the traditional, text-oriented character and blending smoothly into running copy.
