This is a high-contrast italic serif with a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with stems that swell and taper into flared, sculpted endings rather than blunt cuts. Serifs are bracketed and often curve into the stroke, giving many terminals a pointed, blade-like finish. The italics lean is pronounced and consistent, with rounded counters and flowing joins in the lowercase that keep word shapes smooth while still crisp at the edges. Figures follow the same contrast and italic energy, with elegant curves and tapered terminals.
It performs best in display and short-to-medium editorial settings—headlines, pull quotes, magazine titles, and book or album covers—where its contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It can also suit premium branding and formal announcements when set with generous spacing and careful size choices.
The overall tone is refined and expressive, balancing classical bookish authority with a touch of theatrical flair. Its sharp terminals and energetic slant make it feel poised and confident, suitable for sophisticated, attention-getting typography without becoming overly decorative.
The font appears designed to deliver an elegant italic voice with pronounced contrast and flared, calligraphic terminals—aiming for a classic, literary impression while maintaining visual drama and sharpness in display use.
The design’s contrast and tapered terminals create strong sparkle and texture in lines of text, especially at larger sizes. The varied stroke expansion at ends adds a hand-influenced feel and a slightly dynamic baseline movement in running text.
