This typeface is a high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced calligraphic stress and crisp hairline transitions. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with tapered entry and exit strokes that give letters a lively, pen-driven rhythm. Capitals are slightly narrow and poised, with strong diagonal momentum in forms like N, V, W, X, and Y, while round letters (O, Q) show a smooth, continuous modulation. Lowercase shows a traditional italic construction with single-storey forms and flowing joins, a moderate x-height, and varied character widths that create a dynamic texture in text.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and literary or academic titling where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also support formal applications such as invitations, certificates, and premium branding when used at sizes that preserve its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, evoking book typography, classic editorial design, and formal correspondence. Its energetic italic angle adds sophistication and motion without feeling decorative, making it read as cultured and authoritative.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic cadence and elevated contrast, offering a classic companion for text and display settings where a polished, traditional tone is desirable.
Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and narrow counters that suit running text and classic titling. Stroke endings and terminals are consistently tapered, reinforcing a cohesive, engraved/pen-like finish across the set.
