This typeface is a high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes show a calligraphic rhythm: thin hairlines connect to heavier stems, with sharp joins and clean, bracketed serifs that often finish as pointed wedges. Uppercase forms feel relatively narrow and upright in structure despite the italic angle, while lowercase letters have lively movement, compact counters, and distinctly drawn italics such as a single-storey “a” and looped “g.” Numerals match the text color with elegant contrast and slightly varying widths, contributing to an animated, traditional page texture.
It suits editorial and long-form settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or quoted material, and it can also serve well for refined titling in magazines, programs, and literary packaging. The strong contrast and sharp terminals favor print and larger sizes, where the detail can be appreciated.
The overall tone is cultivated and bookish, projecting a sense of tradition and refinement. Its energetic slant and crisp detailing add a subtle dramatic flair, making it feel authoritative without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, text-oriented serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic edge—balancing traditional proportions with crisp, high-contrast detailing to create an articulate, elegant reading voice.
In text, the face builds a dark, elegant color driven by contrast and narrow joins, with noticeable emphasis on diagonals and entry/exit strokes. The italic construction is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving paragraphs a cohesive, forward-moving cadence.
