A high-contrast italic serif with a calligraphic, tapered construction and subtly flared stroke endings. The design shows lively diagonal stress, crisp hairlines, and fuller main strokes, with wedge-like terminals and pointed serifs that keep the rhythm sharp. Letterforms are generously drawn with open counters and a smooth forward slant; capitals feel stately and sculpted while the lowercase is more fluid, with expressive joins and sweeping entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with pronounced thick–thin transitions and elegant curves.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazine features, book jackets, and pull quotes where an italic voice is meant to carry personality. It also works effectively for headlines, subheads, and branding that aims for a classic, upscale feel, and for formal collateral like invitations when set with generous leading.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, leaning toward traditional print sophistication. Its energetic slant and sharp finishing details add a sense of motion and drama, giving text a confident, literary voice suited to premium editorial typography.
Likely intended as an expressive italic serif that blends classical proportions with pronounced calligraphic contrast. The design aims to deliver an elegant, energetic texture for prominent typography while maintaining enough regularity to function in short passages of text.
In continuous text the spacing and slanted rhythm create a cohesive texture, while the contrast and tapered details become more prominent at larger sizes. The character of the design is more display-leaning than utilitarian, with distinctive terminals and curve tension that emphasize style over neutrality.
