A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, bracketed serifs that often finish in wedge-like terminals. The curves are full and slightly compressed by the italic angle, with a lively, calligraphic stroke logic that shows in letters like the looping Q and the energetic lowercase forms. Counters are moderately open, joins are crisp, and the overall rhythm alternates strong vertical stems with swift, tapered entry and exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast construction, with rounded forms and distinctive angled terminals that keep texture consistent across text.
It works well for editorial typography where emphasis and character are desired—book jackets, magazine features, and headline or subhead systems that benefit from an expressive italic. It is also a strong choice for pull quotes and short passages where the high-contrast, calligraphic rhythm can be appreciated without overwhelming dense body text.
The font reads as traditional and literary, with a confident, slightly dramatic flavor typical of old-style editorial italics. Its energetic slant and crisp terminals add a sense of motion and emphasis, making it feel authoritative yet expressive rather than purely neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif voice with an emphatic italic personality, combining traditional serif structure with a more calligraphic, tapered stroke finish. It aims to provide elegant emphasis and a refined, editorial texture while remaining recognizable and readable in typical Latin text settings.
Uppercase forms have sturdy proportions and clear serifed silhouettes, while lowercase characters lean more fluid and pen-driven, producing a textured, lively line in continuous reading. The italic angle is consistent and the contrast gives highlights and hairlines that create a sparkling page color at larger sizes.
