A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered serifs. Strokes transition sharply from thick verticals to hairline joins, creating a lively rhythm and strong diagonal flow. The letterforms show calligraphic modulation, with narrow apertures in places and smooth, rounded bowls; capitals feel slightly condensed and sculpted, while the lowercase maintains a steady x-height and clear ascender/descender structure. Numerals and punctuation follow the same sharp contrast and italic stress, keeping the texture consistent in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where strong contrast and italic movement can be showcased. It can work for short to medium passages (such as introductions, pull quotes, or captions) when set with comfortable leading, and it lends itself well to book covers, magazine features, and other premium print or brand applications.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, combining classic bookish manners with a more theatrical, display-leaning energy. Its sharp contrasts and sweeping italic movement read as sophisticated and slightly dramatic, suited to elevated, traditional contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice in a more energized italic form, emphasizing contrast, elegance, and forward motion. It aims to provide a confident, high-end texture for expressive typography while retaining familiar, conventional proportions.
The italic construction is strong enough that word shapes become highly directional, and the dark stroke weight yields a dense typographic color. Serifs are tapered and bracketed rather than blocky, and many terminals end in fine points that emphasize precision and a crafted feel.
