A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flared stroke endings that read as wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic rhythm with curved joins, energetic entry/exit strokes, and a slightly compact, forward-driving stance. Counters are moderately open, while terminals and serifs sharpen into angled points that create a crisp silhouette. Uppercase shapes feel sturdy and structured, and the lowercase maintains a steady, readable x-height with lively ascenders and descenders that add texture in text.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, magazine features, and book or report titling where a classic italic voice is desired. It also works effectively for branding and packaging that wants a traditional, crafted feel, and for posters or pull quotes where the sharp, flared detailing can read as intentional character.
The overall tone is dramatic and traditional, with a bookish, editorial sensibility that still feels energetic due to the strong slant and sharp terminals. It conveys authority and craft—more refined than casual italics, but less delicate than purely formal chancery styles.
Likely designed to blend a classical serif foundation with a calligraphic italic emphasis, using tapered flares and strong contrast to deliver impact without abandoning readability. The intent appears to be a distinctive italic that can function as a display accent while still holding together in longer settings.
Numbers and caps carry the same tapered stroke logic, producing strong emphasis in display sizes. In continuous text the high contrast and pointed details create a sparkling texture, especially around diagonals and curved letters where the thick-to-thin transitions are most pronounced.
