This is a high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction: thin hairlines and sharp joins contrast with fuller stressed strokes, and many terminals broaden into flared, wedge-like endings. The forms lean forward with smooth, continuous curves and a lively baseline rhythm, while bracketed serifs and tapered entry/exit strokes keep the texture crisp rather than heavy. Counters are relatively open, and the overall spacing reads moderately generous, helping the lively italic shapes avoid clumping in text.
Well suited to editorial typography where an expressive italic voice is desired—chapter openers, pull quotes, or magazine features. It also performs nicely for book and album titles, invitations, and premium packaging where classic elegance and movement are an advantage. For longer passages, it works best when used as an accent style (e.g., emphasis or short runs) due to its strong slant and contrast.
The tone is polished and literary, with a traditional, slightly theatrical flair. Its sweeping italics and sharp contrast suggest formality and taste—more bookish and ceremonial than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif with calligraphic energy, combining refined contrast with flared terminals to create a distinctive, upscale texture in both display and short-form text.
Capitals show pronounced italic swashes and expressive diagonals, giving headings a sense of motion. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapering logic, reading clean and formal alongside the letters.
