This typeface is an italic serif with pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes and a consistent forward slant. Stems taper into flared, wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed serifs, giving the outlines a calligraphic, pen-drawn logic. Bowls and counters are generous and smooth, while joins and diagonals stay crisp, producing a lively rhythm across text. Proportions are moderately compact with a steady, readable x-height and slightly varied character widths that keep the texture organic rather than mechanical.
It suits editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed without losing refinement. The distinctive tapering terminals also work well for premium branding, invitations, and short-form display uses where elegance and motion are desirable.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a traditional, editorial polish. Its sharp hairlines and flared endings convey elegance and formality, while the flowing italic motion adds a sense of momentum and sophistication.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, high-contrast italic with calligraphic energy, balancing formal serif tradition with a slightly expressive, flared finish for strong emphasis and a polished reading texture.
Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase has a more cursive, written cadence; together they create a dynamic hierarchy in mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same contrasty, tapered construction, maintaining a cohesive color in running text.
