This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with sharp, bracketed wedge serifs and a pronounced diagonal stress. Strokes taper cleanly into thin hairlines, with crisp terminals and subtly calligraphic joins that give the letters a flowing, continuous rhythm. Uppercase forms are slightly wide and stately, while the lowercase shows lively modulation, with single-storey a and g and a looping, descender-heavy y and q. Numerals follow an oldstyle pattern with ascenders and descenders, matching the text’s organic movement and page color.
It suits running text where a dedicated italic voice is needed—book typography, essays, and editorial layouts—especially for emphasis, introductions, or quoted passages. The crisp contrast and energetic slant also make it effective for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal stationery where a classic, elegant tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, evoking book typography and classic editorial styling. Its strong italic slant and contrast add energy and elegance, suggesting emphasis, sophistication, and a slightly theatrical sense of formality.
The design appears intended as a polished, text-oriented italic with classical serif detailing, balancing readability with expressive calligraphic motion. Its oldstyle numerals and strongly modeled strokes suggest a focus on traditional publishing and sophisticated typographic hierarchy.
In longer lines, the italic angle and tapering hairlines create a distinctly animated texture, with noticeable variation in silhouette from letter to letter. The caps carry a formal presence, while the lowercase maintains readability through clear counters and consistent internal proportions despite the pronounced stroke modulation.
