This typeface is an italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes show a consistent rightward slant, with tapered terminals and flared stroke endings that widen subtly as they approach the ends, giving the letterforms a sculpted, chiselled feel. The capitals are sharp and assertive with crisp wedge-like details, while the lowercase has a lively rhythm, single-storey forms, and flowing joins that read as drawn rather than mechanically constructed. Counters are moderately open, curves are smooth, and the overall color stays clean at larger sizes while maintaining strong vertical stress and energetic diagonals.
It suits headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography where an elegant italic voice is desired. The refined contrast and flared terminals make it a strong choice for editorial layouts, literary branding, event materials, and other applications that benefit from a classic, formal tone.
The font conveys a refined, literary tone—confident and traditional, with a sense of ceremony. Its high-contrast, swept italic movement suggests sophistication and classic editorial polish, balancing elegance with a slightly dramatic, expressive edge.
The design appears intended to provide a sophisticated italic serif for display-led typography, combining traditional high-contrast forms with subtly flared stroke endings to enhance elegance and visual character. Its energetic slant and calligraphic modulation aim to deliver a distinctive, upscale voice for titles and expressive text.
The figures match the text style with strong contrast and italic motion, and the overall spacing feels designed for display and prominent text rather than dense, small-size setting. The flared endings and sharp internal joins create a distinctive sparkle in headlines and short passages, especially where diagonals and curves repeat.
