A high-contrast italic serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show clear calligraphic modulation, with thin hairlines that taper into heavier stems and rounded terminals. Proportions feel generously set with open counters and confident, slightly condensed rhythm in running text, while capitals carry a sculpted, engraved-like presence. Numerals and lowercase include lively curves and occasional entry/exit flicks that add motion without turning into a script.
Well suited to editorial display settings such as magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and book-cover titling where an expressive italic can carry emphasis. It can also work for short-form text or introductions when a classic serif voice is desired, especially at comfortable sizes that preserve its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a refined, slightly theatrical energy. Its sharp contrast and emphatic italic angle give it a persuasive, headline-ready voice that still reads as established and literary rather than trendy.
This font appears designed to deliver a traditional serif reading voice in an emphatic, calligraphy-informed italic, pairing classical proportions with dramatic contrast for strong typographic emphasis. The intent seems to balance elegance and legibility while adding visual momentum for display and editorial applications.
Diagonal stress is evident in rounded letters, and the italic construction produces distinct, energetic forms in letters like a, f, g, j, and y. The heavier weight and crisp hairlines suggest it will show best when given enough size and spacing to keep fine details from filling in.
