A strongly slanted serif with sculpted, calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a lively rhythm driven by angled stress and sweeping entry/exit strokes. Proportions feel generous with broad rounds and sturdy verticals, while the lowercase is compact and flowing, keeping counters open and forms readable in text. Numerals follow the same italicized, high‑contrast logic, with curving strokes and sharp transitions that emphasize motion.
This face suits headlines, magazine and newspaper styling, book covers, and pull quotes where a refined italic presence is desired. It can also work for formal collateral such as invitations or certificates, especially when set at larger sizes where its contrast and detailing remain crisp.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an editorial sharpness that feels confident and slightly theatrical. Its energetic slant and crisp contrast add drama and sophistication, suggesting tradition filtered through a display-minded, expressive italic voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened movement and emphasis, combining classical proportions with an expressive italic stance for elegant, attention-getting typography.
Curves are emphasized throughout (notably in C, G, S, and the italic lowercase), and many joins and terminals feel pen-informed rather than purely geometric. The ampersand is ornate and prominent, reinforcing a refined, oldstyle flavor suited to typographic emphasis.
