This is a high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and flared stroke endings. Stems taper and swell through the stroke, producing a lively thick–thin rhythm and sharp, wedge-like terminals rather than blunt cuts. Serifs are delicate and often bracketed into the stems, with pointed entry/exit strokes that keep counters open while maintaining a crisp silhouette. The overall proportions read as moderately condensed in many letters, with a smooth forward slant and a slightly variable, handwritten cadence across the set.
It performs best at display and titling sizes where the fine hairlines and sharp terminals can be appreciated—such as magazine headlines, book covers, and brand marks. It can also work for short editorial accents like pull quotes or subheads when paired with a calmer companion for extended reading.
The font conveys an elegant, editorial tone with a sense of motion and drama. Its sharp terminals and pronounced contrast feel polished and upscale, leaning toward fashion and literary contexts rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to bring traditional serif sophistication into an italic, calligraphy-driven voice, prioritizing elegance and expressive rhythm. Its flared endings and sculpted contrast suggest a focus on high-impact typography for premium editorial and brand settings.
In the samples, the italic angle and contrast remain consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving long lines a cohesive, flowing texture. The numerals share the same sculpted, calligraphic stress, helping mixed text and dates feel stylistically unified.
