This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes taper into sharp, bracketed serifs, and many joins show smooth, pen-like transitions rather than mechanical terminals. The capitals are refined and relatively compact in width, while the lowercase shows lively variation with open counters and subtly asymmetric curves. Figures follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with flowing diagonals and delicate hairlines that feel consistent with the letterforms.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or tone. It can also serve in refined headlines, pull quotes, and titling, especially when a classic, literary feel is desired. For best results, use it in print-like settings or on screens with sufficient size to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, evoking bookish refinement and old-style elegance. Its slant and crisp contrast add a sense of motion and sophistication, making it feel expressive without becoming ornamental. The impression is polished and formal, suited to writing-centric, editorial environments.
The font appears designed as a conventional, text-oriented serif italic that balances classical proportions with crisp contrast and a calligraphic slant. Its intention is to provide an elegant companion voice for reading and editorial composition, delivering emphasis with grace rather than overt display.
The design leans on diagonal stress and thin hairline details, so it reads best when given comfortable size and spacing. The ampersand and several lowercase forms show a more humanist, handwritten influence, reinforcing an editorial, text-oriented character.
