A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, bracketed serifs. Letterforms show a clear forward slant and a lively, calligraphic rhythm, with crisp hairlines, sturdy main stems, and wedge-like terminals that stay clean at display sizes. Counters are moderately open and the overall texture is energetic rather than quiet, giving the alphabet a strong diagonal flow and a slightly condensed, tensioned feel in the capitals.
This style performs best in headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium text where contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It suits editorial layouts, magazine covers, cultural posters, and brand typography that needs a refined but forceful serif voice.
The tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, slightly dramatic presence typical of print-forward typography. Its strong contrast and vigorous italic angle read as elegant and emphatic, making it feel suitable for traditional, high-end communication while still carrying a bit of headline urgency.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic serif for expressive, high-impact typography—prioritizing contrast, sharp terminals, and a flowing diagonal cadence to deliver emphasis and sophistication in display settings.
Capitals appear stately and structured with pointed joins and decisive serifs, while the lowercase maintains a compact, rhythmic cursive feel. Numerals match the same contrast and slant, keeping the set visually coherent for prominent numeric use.
