This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes show a strong diagonal stress and sharp modulation from thick to hairline, ending in pointed, wedge-like serifs and flared terminals that feel carved rather than bracketed. Curves are taut and smooth, with crisp entry/exit strokes and occasional beak-like details on letters such as C, G, and S. The rhythm is energetic and slightly angular, and the proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the overall texture a lively, display-oriented color rather than a uniform text face.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and posters where an elegant italic voice is needed. It can also work for short pull quotes, branding lines, and titling in packaging or invitations, especially when printed at sizes that preserve its fine hairlines and sharp terminals.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical, evoking classic print elegance with a hint of flourish. It reads as premium and expressive—more “headline and statement” than quiet neutrality—while still retaining a traditional, bookish sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif with heightened contrast and flared, wedge-like endings, balancing traditional letterform cues with a more dramatic, display-driven presence. Its variable rhythm and crisp detailing suggest an aim toward expressive typographic color and premium editorial impact.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) and pronounced italic joins, contributing to a handwritten impression. Numerals carry the same sharp, calligraphic modulation, with strong diagonals and delicate hairline moments that will benefit from comfortable sizes and good reproduction.
