A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced calligraphic slant and crisp, wedge-like serifs that often flare into the stroke endings. Stems are stout and dark, while hairlines and joins narrow sharply, creating a strong thick–thin rhythm and lively internal movement. Counters tend toward compact, and many letters show angled stress and subtly tapered terminals, giving the texture a rolling, energetic line in text. Numerals follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic, with emphatic curves and sharp finishing strokes.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text settings where its contrast and italic rhythm can be appreciated—such as magazine headlines, literary branding, book jackets, and pull quotes. It can also work for formal announcements and refined packaging where a classic, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is authoritative and refined, with a distinctly literary, old-world elegance. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italic motion also add a touch of theatricality, making it feel expressive without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened drama: a bold italic built around calligraphic stress, sharp serifs, and flared endings to produce strong emphasis and a premium editorial feel.
In running text, the heavy main strokes create a dark color and confident presence, while the sharp serifs and narrow hairlines add sparkle and precision. The italic construction feels purposeful rather than merely slanted, with consistent stress and terminal treatment across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
