A sharply italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. The letterforms lean decisively forward, with narrow joins and delicate hairlines balanced by sturdy vertical and diagonal strokes. Serifs are small and bracketed, often sharpening into wedge-like tips that reinforce a fast, calligraphic rhythm. Capitals feel stately and open, while the lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes, compact counters, and a slightly irregular, hand-cut cadence across the set.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and refined long-form settings where an italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for pull quotes, headings, and brand expressions that benefit from a classic, high-finesse italic presence. Best used where printing or rendering can preserve its delicate hairlines and sharp terminals.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and formal writing. Its energetic slant and high-contrast detailing add a sense of drama and sophistication, leaning more refined than casual. The feel is classic and cultured, with a lightly theatrical edge in the curves and finishing strokes.
The design appears intended as a traditional text italic with heightened contrast and a calligraphic snap, aiming to deliver a refined, authoritative tone while keeping the rhythm lively. It prioritizes elegant silhouette, crisp finishing, and a fluent italic texture for editorial and literary contexts.
Round letters like O/C and the numerals show strong optical shaping, with hairlines that can become quite fine at smaller sizes. The italic construction reads consistently across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving long text a flowing, continuous texture while still keeping a crisp, engraved-like sharpness in the details.
