This typeface is an italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strongly right-leaning stance. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, with sharp terminals and teardrop-like finishing on several forms, giving strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. Proportions run generous in width with open counters; uppercase forms are stately and round, while lowercase shows lively modulation with distinct descenders (notably on g, j, y) and a single-storey a. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with curved, oldstyle-like silhouettes and prominent entry/exit strokes.
It suits long-form reading in book interiors and editorial layouts where an expressive italic voice is desired. It also works well for elegant invitations, pull quotes, and headings that benefit from a classic serif presence with motion and contrast.
Overall it conveys a traditional, bookish tone with a touch of flourish. The energetic italic movement and crisp contrast add elegance and a mildly dramatic, editorial voice rather than a purely utilitarian one.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with elevated contrast and a graceful, calligraphy-informed rhythm. Its aim is to deliver refined readability while providing enough personality for sophisticated publishing and formal communication.
The design maintains a consistent slanted stress across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a smooth line flow in text. The ampersand and the swashy descenders contribute extra character, while the open shapes and clear differentiation of letters help retain readability at text sizes.
