A high-contrast italic serif with crisp hairlines and sharply tapered entry and exit strokes. Serifs are bracketed and delicately pointed, with a consistent rightward slant and pronounced diagonal stress that gives the forms a calligraphic rhythm. Capitals are relatively narrow and upright in structure but keep the italic modulation, while lowercase shows compact proportions with lively terminals and occasional ball-like finishing details (notably in figures and some letters). Numerals follow the same contrasty, old-style-inflected feel, with angled strokes and thin connections that emphasize elegance over sturdiness.
Well suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book titles and subtitles, pull quotes, and refined branding where an elegant italic voice is desired. It can also work for invitations and formal announcements, especially where a classic serif tone and energetic slant help add emphasis and sophistication.
The font conveys a polished, literary tone—formal and cultured without feeling ornate. Its swift italic movement and fine hairlines suggest sophistication, tradition, and a slightly dramatic editorial voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic serif with elevated contrast and a calligraphic edge—built to add emphasis and polish in text settings while maintaining a traditional, bookish character.
Spacing appears moderately tight in the grid but reads cleanly in text, where the slanted rhythm creates a continuous flow. The contrast is strong enough to feel luxurious, so it benefits from adequate size and good reproduction conditions to preserve the hairlines.
