A high-contrast italic serif with a calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems and diagonals lean consistently with a lively, slightly variable rhythm, while bracketed serifs and wedge-like entry/exit strokes give many forms a chiseled, tapered finish. Curves show diagonal stress, with compact bowls and crisp hairlines that sharpen at joins and terminals; several letters feature small ball terminals and teardrop-like endings. Figures follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with sculpted curves and thin connecting strokes that emphasize an overall engraved, formal texture.
Well-suited to editorial settings where an expressive italic is needed—magazine features, book typography, pull quotes, and headings. It can also serve refined branding, packaging, and invitations where a classic, formal voice and high-contrast detail will be appreciated, especially at display sizes.
The tone is polished and traditional, suggesting bookish sophistication and a distinctly European, old-world flavor. Its sharp hairlines and energetic slant add drama and ceremony, while the serif detailing keeps it grounded in classic editorial typography.
Likely designed to provide a classic italic companion with pronounced contrast and calligraphic flair, balancing traditional serif structure with decorative, characterful terminals for expressive text and display use.
Uppercase forms read stately and structured, while the lowercase carries more motion, with distinctive terminals and swash-like stroke endings that increase character. The overall color on the page is moderately dark due to strong main strokes, with fine hairlines creating sparkle at larger sizes.
