This is a high-contrast italic serif with a distinctly calligraphic skeleton and tapered, flared stroke endings. Stems lean with a consistent rightward slant and show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with hairline joins and crisp, pointed terminals. Serifs are compact and bracketed, often resolving into wedge-like flares rather than flat slabs, giving the texture a lively, engraved rhythm. Proportions feel traditional and moderately narrow, with smoothly rounded bowls and tight internal counters that keep the color dense in text.
It suits editorial typography where an elegant italic is needed for headlines, pull quotes, and prominent emphasis. The crisp contrast and flared finishing also make it a strong choice for book covers, magazine features, and refined branding that benefits from a classic, typographic voice.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting classic book typography and upscale editorial work. Its sharp terminals and energetic modulation add a touch of drama and sophistication, reading as elegant rather than casual. The italic voice feels expressive and authoritative, like a headline italic used for emphasis in a refined setting.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast italic with a calligraphic feel, emphasizing sharpness, rhythm, and a premium printed impression. The flared stroke endings and compact, bracketed serifs suggest an aim to blend classical serif conventions with a slightly more sculpted, display-friendly finish.
Uppercase forms are stately and slightly condensed, with clear calligraphic stress visible in letters like C, G, and S. Numerals follow the same italic modulation and tapered finishing, matching the text color closely. The font’s texture becomes notably bold in larger sizes due to the strong contrast and compact counters, which enhances its display presence.
