This is a slanted serif with a high-contrast, calligraphic construction and bracketed wedge-like serifs. Strokes move from hairline-thin joins and terminals into fuller main stems, producing a lively light–dark rhythm across words. Curves are taut and slightly tapered, with crisp entry/exit strokes and angled stress that reinforces the italic flow. Proportions read as traditional for text, with moderate ascenders/descenders and a compact, controlled texture when set in paragraphs.
It suits editorial typography where an italic voice is needed—introductions, pull quotes, captions, and literary titling. In magazines and book interiors it can add a refined accent alongside a roman companion, and it can also carry short headlines or subheads where elegance and tradition are desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, leaning toward a bookish, editorial sophistication. Its sharp hairlines and poised curves convey elegance and formality, while the energetic slant adds a touch of dynamism suited to emphatic or expressive typography.
The font appears designed to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with pronounced contrast and a polished, classical character. Its intention is to deliver an authoritative typographic voice that feels established and literary while remaining crisp and expressive in continuous text.
Capitals show a restrained, classical silhouette with clean internal spaces, while lowercase forms emphasize movement through curved shoulders and tapered terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, keeping color consistent in mixed text. The design’s fine details suggest it will look best when printing or rendering conditions can preserve hairlines and tight joins.
