This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and tapered stroke endings. The slant is assertive and consistent, with a calligraphic rhythm created by strong thick–thin transitions and curved entry/exit strokes. Uppercase forms feel sculpted and slightly condensed, while lowercase shows lively, varied widths and pronounced ascenders and descenders. Counters are relatively open, and curves (notably in C, O, S, and e) are smooth and controlled, giving the design a polished, print-oriented texture.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or sidebars. It can also work for refined headlines and subheads when a classic, high-contrast italic presence is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting refinement and formality without becoming overly ornate. Its energetic italic movement adds a sense of elegance and emphasis, suited to sophisticated, editorial communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic, high-contrast construction, providing a dignified and articulate companion voice for long-form reading and typographic emphasis.
Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with clear modulation and traditional proportions; the 2 and 3 are notably fluid, while 0 and 8 are round and balanced. In text, the spacing reads even and the slanted forms knit into a continuous, energetic line, producing a confident, traditional page color.
