A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with sharp, tapered terminals and teardrop-like finishes in places, giving the letters a calligraphic rhythm. Capitals are sturdy and slightly wide in presence, while lowercase forms lean with energetic curves and compact apertures; counters remain clear despite the weight. Numerals appear oldstyle and italic, with varied widths and lively entry/exit strokes that match the text’s flow.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a bold italic voice is needed. It can also work for book-cover titling, posters, and formal announcements that benefit from classic serif authority with added movement. In longer passages it will create a dark, emphatic texture, making it best as an accent style rather than primary body text.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, combining editorial seriousness with a sense of motion and flourish. It reads as authoritative and refined rather than casual, evoking book typography and formal publishing conventions. The slanted, high-contrast construction adds drama and emphasis without becoming decorative.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, high-impact italic with strong contrast and traditional serif detailing, aimed at expressive emphasis in formal typography. Its calligraphic modulation and oldstyle numerals suggest an intention to echo bookish, literary conventions while remaining forceful and modern in weight.
The design maintains a consistent italic angle across cases, with strong diagonal emphasis in letters like N, V, W, and X and a distinctive looped character in forms such as g and y. The heavier italic weight and sharp joins create a dense, punchy texture in paragraphs, especially at larger sizes.
