This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a crisp, calligraphic construction and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Strokes taper to sharp terminals, and the serifs read as fine, pointed wedges rather than heavy slabs. The italic angle is consistent and lively, with slightly narrow, forward-leaning capitals and rounded, flowing lowercase forms that keep a steady rhythm in text. Numerals match the italic texture, with open counters and strong diagonal stress that preserves sparkle at display sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine headings, pull quotes, and refined brand applications where an italic voice is desired. It can also work for formal announcements or invitations, especially in short to medium runs of text where its contrast and sharp terminals can remain crisp.
The overall tone is cultured and classic, evoking editorial sophistication and old-world refinement. Its brisk slant and sharp detailing add a sense of momentum and drama, making it feel expressive without becoming ornamental or decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with elevated contrast and a distinctly calligraphic edge, offering an expressive companion for emphasis in running text while also scaling up confidently for elegant display typography.
In the sample text, the spacing and contrast create a bright page color with clear word shapes, while the sharp joins and tapered endings give it a distinctly engraved or pen-driven feel. The capitals carry a dignified presence, and the lowercase maintains a smooth, continuous texture suited to setting longer phrases when used at comfortable sizes.
