A high-contrast serif italic with strongly tapered strokes and crisp, bracketed serifs that flare into wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show pronounced diagonal stress and a forward slant, with broad, rounded bowls and sharp joins that create a lively thick–thin rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel expansive and stately, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable structure with compact counters and energetic entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with curved spurs and angled terminals that keep the set visually cohesive.
Well suited to magazine and book headlines, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where a luxurious, high-contrast italic can carry a page. It also fits branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a classic serif voice with pronounced motion and presence. For extended text, it is likely best used at comfortable sizes and with thoughtful spacing to balance its strong contrast and dark color.
The overall tone is elegant yet forceful: refined, editorial, and slightly theatrical. Its sweeping italic movement and sharp contrast suggest prestige and tradition, while the wide stance and bold presence give it a confident, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic text-serif foundation with an elevated, calligraphic italic emphasis—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a confident, wide display stance for impactful typography.
In text, the dense color and pronounced contrast produce a strong typographic texture, especially where diagonals and serifs create consistent sparkle along the baseline. The italic forms are expressive rather than understated, making the font feel more display-leaning even when set in paragraphs.
