This is a right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast and a distinctly calligraphic build. Strokes taper into sharp, bracketed serifs, with energetic terminals and occasional swash-like entry/exit strokes that add motion. Proportions feel broad and open in the caps, while the lowercase keeps a relatively compact body with long ascenders and descenders that create a lively vertical rhythm. Round letters show a slightly sheared, flowing stress, and the figures share the same italicized, sculpted construction for a cohesive texture in text.
It suits editorial typography where an expressive italic serif can carry personality—magazine features, book covers, and section headers. The strong, flowing forms also work well for posters, event materials, and formal invitations where a classic but animated tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a confident, expressive slant that reads as editorial rather than purely utilitarian. Its sweeping terminals and strong contrast add a touch of drama and ceremony, making the voice feel polished and assertive.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif foundation with a more expressive, calligraphy-inflected italic voice. It aims to deliver a dramatic, high-energy texture for display and emphasis while remaining cohesive and readable in short passages.
Capitals present a bold, display-friendly silhouette, while the lowercase maintains an engaging, rhythmic word shape that benefits from generous spacing. The design’s sharper joins and tapered curves give it crispness at larger sizes, and the lively details become a defining feature in headlines and pull quotes.
