This typeface is a high-contrast serif italic with sharp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes move from thin hairlines to strong main stems with pronounced modulation, and the italic angle is steady across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Letterforms show relatively narrow internal apertures and compact sidebearings, giving lines a tight, rhythmic texture. The design includes several flowing entry and exit strokes (notably in lowercase), while capitals remain structured and tapered, balancing firmness with a lively slant.
Well suited for editorial applications such as book typography, magazine features, and sophisticated headlines where italic emphasis is central to the voice. It can also serve in pull quotes, short-form display lines, and branding that wants a classic, cultivated tone. Best results will come from sizes where the thin hairlines have enough room to remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a traditional, bookish sensibility. Its crisp contrast and italic movement evoke editorial sophistication—suited to settings where a sense of refinement and formality is desired without becoming overly ornate. The texture feels energetic but controlled, reading as classic and cultured.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with elevated contrast and a disciplined, calligraphic feel—aiming to provide expressive emphasis while staying within a familiar, traditional typographic idiom.
Round forms (like C, O, Q) are smooth and evenly tensioned, while diagonals and joins stay sharp, contributing to a clean, engraved-like presence. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm and contrast, integrating well with text and supporting inline emphasis.
