A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered entry and exit strokes and compact, bracketed serifs. The letterforms lean with a steady angle and show a calligraphic rhythm: thick verticals and strong diagonals are paired with hairline joins and pointed terminals. Counters are relatively open for an italic, while curves and bowls keep a tight, controlled shape that reads cleanly at display sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with energetic curves and angled finishing strokes.
This font performs best in editorial and display contexts such as headlines, deck type, pull quotes, and cover lines where its contrast and italic energy can shine. It also suits literary branding and formal invitations, especially when paired with a calmer roman or sans for body copy.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking book typography and magazine styling. Its lively slant and crisp hairlines add a sense of speed and sophistication, suitable for elegant, persuasive voice rather than casual or utilitarian messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic voice with pronounced contrast and a refined, print-like finish—aimed at expressive typography that remains orderly and legible in short to medium-length text settings.
Capitals are assertive with sharp wedges and clear diagonal stress, while lowercase forms emphasize motion through long, tapering terminals and a consistent cursive flow. The texture in paragraphs is dense and dark, creating strong headline impact and a distinctly editorial color on the page.
