A sharply angled italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. Curves are tensioned and smooth, with teardrop/ball-like terminals and tapered strokes that suggest a calligraphic pen angle. Uppercase forms are compact and formal, while the lowercase shows flowing joins and energetic entry/exit strokes; the overall color is dark but lively due to the strong contrast. Numerals follow the same slanted, sculpted logic, with clear tapering and delicate finishing details.
This style is well suited to editorial display work such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book-jacket typography where contrast and elegance are desired. It can also perform effectively in short to medium passages at comfortable sizes, especially in print-oriented layouts where the italic voice is intended to carry emphasis and personality.
The font conveys a high-end, literary tone—poised and classical, with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its steep italic stance and sparkling hairlines create a sense of motion and sophistication suited to refined, attention-getting typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading texture infused with a more expressive italic voice, combining classical proportions with pronounced contrast and finely finished terminals for premium, publication-oriented typography.
The italic construction produces a dynamic baseline rhythm and noticeable diagonal stress, especially in round letters and the numerals. Fine terminals and narrow hairlines add sparkle at display sizes, while the sturdy main stems maintain presence in larger blocks of text.
