This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes and bracketed wedge-like serifs. The slant is pronounced and consistent, with flowing entry and exit strokes that give letters a calligraphic momentum. Curves are generous and smooth, counters remain open, and the rhythm alternates between hairline connections and fuller stressed stems. Uppercase forms read as traditional and well-proportioned, while the lowercase shows lively italics with distinct extenders and a compact, legible x-height.
It works well for editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and any application where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or a refined tone. It is especially suitable for pull quotes, introductions, captions, and formal materials such as invitations or programs where high-contrast italics can add elegance without becoming ornate.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting elegance and cultivated formality. Its energetic italic movement adds a sense of sophistication and emphasis, making it feel at home in traditional publishing and polished brand voices.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic serif that balances traditional proportions with a distinctly calligraphic stroke flow. Its goal seems to be creating a crisp, refined texture in paragraphs while providing a strong, expressive italic for emphasis in editorial contexts.
Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with noticeably varying widths and a slightly old-style, text-friendly feel. The ampersand and punctuation inherit the same crisp terminals and flowing joins, helping maintain a cohesive texture in continuous reading.
