This is a high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered entry and exit strokes and pronounced, wedge-like (often flared) terminals. The letterforms lean with a smooth, continuous calligraphic rhythm: thick verticals and main diagonals are paired with hairline links, and joins resolve into crisp points rather than blunt cuts. Serifs are generally small and bracketing is subtle, giving many strokes a chiseled, swelling-into-terminal feel. Counters are relatively open for a display italic, and the overall texture alternates between bold strokes and fine hairlines, creating a bright, lively page color.
It suits display and short-text applications where its contrast and pointed terminals can be appreciated: magazine headlines, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, cultural posters, and formal invitations. In longer passages it works best at comfortable sizes and with adequate line spacing to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The font conveys a refined, literary tone with a touch of drama typical of formal italics. Its sharp terminals and energetic modulation add sophistication and motion, evoking editorial polish and classical book typography rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-style italic voice with calligraphic energy and sculpted serif terminals. It prioritizes elegance and expressive rhythm, offering a distinctive editorial presence without becoming overly ornamental.
Uppercase forms show strong, sculpted diagonals and sweeping curves, while lowercase features brisk, pointed terminals and a compact, italic flow that keeps words cohesive. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic stance, with elegant curves and fine hairline details that reward larger sizes.
