Key letters
"The type design is highly refined, it displays a strong angularity with airline thin strokes which tend to disappear when the impression is not particularly sharp. Peculiar letters are the wide round s and letter e where the oblique bar extends to the right of the bowl with a smooth connection and sharp terminal" (R. Olocco)
