A right-leaning serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered joins. The serifs are bracketed and often flare into small wedge-like terminals, while many strokes end in soft hooks or ball-like terminals that add a calligraphic finish. Proportions are moderately wide with a slightly compact, traditional x-height; capitals feel broad and sculpted, and the numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast rhythm. Overall spacing and rhythm read as conventional for text, but the strong italic angle and lively terminals make the silhouette more animated than a purely restrained book face.
Well-suited for editorial settings where italic is used as a primary voice—magazine features, pull quotes, and sophisticated headlines. It can also work for book or film titles and branding that benefits from a classic serif presence with noticeable motion and flourish, especially at medium to large sizes.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone with a touch of flourish—confident, slightly theatrical, and old-world in character. Its energetic italic forms suggest elegance and emphasis, making the voice feel literary and ceremonial rather than casual or utilitarian.
Likely designed as a conventional serif italic with heightened contrast and expressive terminals to provide an elegant, emphatic companion style for display and editorial typography. The aim appears to balance traditional readability with a more calligraphic, attention-grabbing italic texture.
The italic construction is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with recurring hooked terminals and curved entry/exit strokes that reinforce a handwritten influence. Contrast is strong enough to create sparkle in large sizes, and the rounded finishing details keep the look from feeling overly sharp or brittle.
