This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a smooth, calligraphic construction. Strokes taper and swell with a brushlike rhythm, and many terminals finish in subtle flares rather than blunt endings. Serifs are bracketed and integrated into the stroke flow, giving capitals a sculpted, slightly dynamic silhouette while keeping counters open and legible. Proportions feel spacious and somewhat extended, with a steady baseline and consistent italic angle across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
It suits magazine headlines, editorial layouts, pull quotes, and book-cover typography where an elegant italic presence is desirable. The lively stroke modulation also works well for branding, invitations, and poster titles, especially at medium to large sizes where the flare and contrast read crisply.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, mixing classical bookish cues with a more fashionable, display-oriented energy. Its contrast and slant create a sense of movement and sophistication, lending a confident, upscale voice to short passages and titles.
The design appears intended to deliver an italic serif with a strong calligraphic feel and refined contrast, balancing readability with a distinctive, expressive silhouette. It aims to provide a premium, editorial voice that feels traditional in structure while more animated in gesture.
The sample text shows a strong, even texture for an italic style, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (for example, the forms of I, J, and l) and a distinctive, decorative italic ‘f’ with a long descender. Numerals appear lining and similarly slanted, matching the letterforms’ contrast and flared finishing.
