A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered entry/exit strokes and distinctly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show strong diagonal stress and a lively, forward-leaning rhythm, with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase is more fluid and calligraphic, with compact counters and energetic joins that create a textured line in paragraph settings. Numerals follow the same italicized, contrasty construction, reading clean and consistent alongside the letters.
Well suited for editorial headlines, cover typography, pull quotes, and short-form reading where an expressive italic voice is desired. It also works for formal announcements and branding that benefits from classic serif authority with a dynamic, italic presence.
The overall tone is elegant and traditional, with a touch of theatrical drama from the steep italic angle and punchy contrast. It suggests literary and editorial sophistication—confident, formal, and a bit showy when set large.
The font appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice in an assertive italic, combining traditional construction with heightened contrast for impact. Its design emphasizes elegance and motion, aiming to stand out in display sizes while still retaining a recognizably conventional text-serif structure.
The design’s tight internal spaces and strong contrast make it visually striking, especially in all-caps or mixed-case display lines. In continuous text, the italic slant and active stroke modulation produce a pronounced cadence that favors emphasis and headline use over quiet neutrality.
