A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden as they meet the serifs. The letterforms show a pronounced forward slant and a calligraphic stress, with thin hairlines and sturdy main strokes creating a crisp, elegant rhythm. Serifs are delicate and pointed rather than blocky, and curves are clean with slightly extended, expressive joins. Proportions feel balanced with moderate ascenders and descenders, and the overall texture reads smooth but energetic, especially in capitals and round forms.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and titling where its contrast and italic dynamism can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages such as lead-ins, pull quotes, or premium branding copy when set with comfortable spacing and adequate size.
The tone is polished and literary, suggesting sophistication and a slightly dramatic, classic sensibility. Its slanted, high-contrast construction gives it a sense of movement and ceremony, lending a premium, editorial voice rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with added sharpness and flourish through tapered, flared endings and strong contrast. It aims for an elegant, attention-getting texture that feels traditional yet lively for modern editorial composition.
In the samples, the italic angle and contrast remain consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing an even color at display sizes. The numerals match the text style with similarly tapered curves and pointed finishing strokes, helping headings and pull quotes feel cohesive.
