This typeface is a serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a forward, calligraphic slant. Serifs are finely bracketed and tend toward sharp, wedge-like finishes, while curves show crisp transitions into thin hairlines. The capitals feel sturdy and slightly compact with prominent vertical stress, and the lowercase carries more motion through angled stems, tapered joins, and occasional swash-like terminals (notably in letters such as a, f, y, and z). Numerals echo the same contrast and slant, with round forms that read as elegant and a “9” that finishes in a distinctive curled tail.
It suits editorial typography where an italic voice is meant to be prominent—such as magazine features, pull quotes, and refined headlines. The strong contrast and sharp detailing also work well for book covers, classic-styled branding, invitations, and premium packaging where a traditional serif character is desired.
Overall it conveys a traditional, bookish tone with a touch of drama from its strong contrast and lively italic movement. The sharp serifs and emphatic curves add a refined, old-world flavor that feels confident and ceremonial rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading personality with a more expressive italic that can carry emphasis and elegance on its own. Its combination of sturdy capitals, high-contrast strokes, and animated terminals suggests a focus on polished, classical presentation for both headline and accent text.
In text, the slanted rhythm is cohesive and energetic, with capitals that anchor lines while the lowercase provides pronounced diagonal flow. The design’s thin hairlines and tight curves create a crisp, engraved feel at display sizes, while the italic forms remain clearly structured and not overly cursive.
