This typeface is a high-contrast serif italic with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty main strokes, producing a crisp, polished texture on the page. Serifs are bracketed and neatly cut, with pointed, wedge-like terminals and lively entry/exit strokes that suggest a pen-informed construction. Uppercase forms feel steady and slightly condensed in presence, while the lowercase shows fluid, looped shapes and a pronounced slant that creates forward motion. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are moderately open, and the overall rhythm alternates thick-and-thin strokes in a consistent, conventional text-serif manner.
It suits long-form typography where italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, and citations, as well as magazine and editorial settings that benefit from a refined, classical italic texture. It can also work for formal announcements and elegant display lines when set with generous spacing and careful hierarchy.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—elegant and slightly dramatic without becoming ornamental. Its italic energy feels formal and cultivated, lending a sense of tradition, authority, and editorial sophistication.
The design appears intended as a traditional text-serif italic: legible and consistent for continuous reading, while providing a graceful, expressive slant for emphasis within a larger typographic system.
Numerals appear lining with clear contrast and traditional shapes, including curled terminals and compact bowls that match the italic calligraphic stress. The lowercase ‘g’ is double-storey and the ‘a’ is single-storey, reinforcing a conventional text-italic voice with a touch of flourish in the joins and terminals.
