An italic serif with wide-set proportions and medium stroke contrast, built around crisp bracketed serifs and sharply tapered terminals. The letterforms show a consistent slanted axis and a slightly calligraphic construction, with a carved inline running through the main strokes that gives the design a layered, engraved look. Curves are smooth and generous, counters are open, and the overall rhythm is lively without becoming overly ornate; numerals and capitals maintain the same sculpted, display-oriented finish.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short passages where the inline detail can be appreciated. It works well for magazine-style typography, event and poster titling, premium packaging, and branding that wants a classic italic voice with added visual texture.
The inline treatment and italic movement create a classic, editorial tone with a touch of vintage glamour. It feels refined and slightly theatrical—more like engraved titling or fashion copy than utilitarian text—while still reading cleanly at display sizes.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional italic serif by adding an inline engraving effect, increasing visual richness and distinction in display contexts. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and a polished, crafted finish over plain text neutrality.
Swashy moments (notably in several lowercase forms) add flair and help headlines feel dynamic. The inline cut is even and deliberate, producing strong contrast between the solid stroke mass and the inner highlight, which becomes a defining feature in larger settings.
