A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and clear calligraphic stress. Strokes move from hairline-thin to weighty verticals, with sharp, bracketed serifs and occasional wedge-like finishing that gives edges a crisp, engraved feel. Curves are smoothly modeled and slightly narrow in places, while diagonals and entry strokes add a lively, handwritten rhythm. Counters stay fairly open and the overall color is dark and elegant, with numerals and capitals matching the same contrasty, tapered logic.
It suits long-form editorial settings where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, or classic-style headings. The strong contrast and crisp serifs also make it effective for upscale invitations, cultural programs, and branded collateral that benefits from a traditional, refined voice.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, suggesting literary and editorial contexts rather than casual display. Its dramatic contrast and italic movement feel expressive yet controlled, lending a refined, slightly theatrical sophistication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with heightened contrast and calligraphic energy, aiming to deliver a classic reading experience while adding expressive movement for emphasis and display within editorial typography.
Several letters show distinctive tapered entry/exit strokes and teardrop-like terminals, contributing to a dynamic texture in continuous text. The italic forms maintain consistent modulation across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive, polished page rhythm.
