A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal slant and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes shift from hairline thins to weighty stems, giving letters a chiseled, energetic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like rather than slabby, and many joins show subtle calligraphic shaping. Proportions feel slightly condensed in places, with lively curves and occasional swashlike entries on letters such as J, Q, and the lowercase g, contributing to a dynamic texture in running text.
This face is best deployed where italic personality is part of the voice: editorial headlines, magazine features, book covers, and brand statements that want a classic serif with added flourish. It can also serve for pull quotes or emphasis lines where a strong, formal italic is desirable, especially at display sizes where the sharp contrast and tapered details remain clear.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, with a dramatic, old-world flourish. It reads as confident and slightly theatrical—well-suited to statements that want to feel established, cultured, and emphatic rather than neutral or purely utilitarian.
The design appears aimed at delivering a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and expressive italic movement, creating a more commanding, display-ready texture than a quiet text italic. It prioritizes drama, elegance, and forward momentum while retaining familiar serif forms for readability.
In the sample paragraph the strong slant and contrast create a pronounced forward motion, while the heavy thick strokes keep color dense at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast construction, matching the text style rather than appearing purely tabular or engineered.
