A high-contrast italic serif with a brisk rightward slant and lively, calligraphic modulation. Strokes transition from hairline thins to strong diagonals, with pointed, wedge-like terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that read as carved rather than bracketed. Curves are taut and slightly condensed in feel, while capitals maintain a formal, classical structure; overall spacing and rhythm favor crisp word shapes and strong diagonal energy. Numerals and lowercase show a consistent italic construction with sharp joins, compact counters, and tapered finishing strokes.
Well-suited to magazine features, book typography, and other editorial contexts where an expressive italic can carry tone and hierarchy. It works particularly well for headlines, standfirsts, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated at comfortable reading sizes.
The font conveys an editorial, literary sophistication—polished and assertive without feeling overly ornate. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast add a sense of drama and speed, suggesting tradition, taste, and a slightly theatrical refinement suited to premium typography.
The design appears intended to provide a classic italic voice with heightened contrast and crisp, tapered detailing, balancing tradition with a more incisive, contemporary bite. Its structured capitals and animated lowercase suggest a role as a stylish companion for refined editorial systems.
The italic angle is pronounced and consistent across cases, giving lines a forward momentum. Hairlines are delicate relative to main strokes, and the pointed terminals create a distinctive sparkle in text, especially in letters with diagonals and curved tails.
