A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty, teardrop-like stems that create a strong diagonal rhythm. Serifs are small and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, and many joins show calligraphic swelling rather than mechanical transitions. Uppercase forms feel sculpted and compact, while the lowercase leans more fluidly with pronounced entry/exit strokes and a lively baseline motion. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with bold curves and fine, pointed terminals.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial applications where contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It can work for book covers and refined branding when used at moderate to large sizes, and is especially effective when paired with a quieter roman text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is elegant and emphatic, combining old-style sophistication with a display-like punch. Its energetic slant and dramatic contrast give it a fashionable, editorial character while still reading as rooted in traditional book typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic voice with heightened contrast and sculptural terminals, aiming for expressive elegance rather than purely utilitarian text setting. It emphasizes strong letterform personality and a luxurious page texture in display contexts.
The texture is intentionally uneven in stroke density across letters, producing a shimmering, engraved-like color in larger settings. Spacing appears tuned for display and short text, with strong silhouettes and prominent italic swashes on letters like f, g, y, and z.
