This typeface is a slanted serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and finely tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with a distinctly calligraphic rhythm created by the consistent diagonal stress and narrow hairlines. Uppercase forms feel stately and open, while lowercase shows smooth, flowing joins, a single‑storey “g,” and compact, slightly narrow counters that keep the texture even at text sizes. Numerals appear proportional and oldstyle in character, with varied heights and pronounced thick–thin transitions that match the text color.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic italic voice is needed for emphasis or dedicated text. It also fits formal communications—programs, invitations, and cultural materials—where an elegant, traditional serif presence is desirable.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, combining traditional bookish authority with a graceful, expressive slant. It reads as refined and formal rather than utilitarian, lending a sense of polish and historical continuity.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented serif italic that balances readability with a distinctly classical, calligraphic flavor. Its proportions and contrast aim to deliver a refined page texture and a confident, traditional typographic voice.
Stroke endings are clean and pointed, and curves are drawn with controlled tension, giving the face a crisp, engraved feel. The italic angle is strong enough to create forward motion, but the spacing remains measured, supporting continuous reading.
