A high-contrast serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clearly calligraphic construction. The letterforms are strongly slanted with a sheared, lively axis, and the strokes taper into crisp, bracketed serifs and fine hairlines. Counters are relatively open for an italic, while terminals often finish in small hooks or ball-like forms, giving the shapes a fluent rhythm. Capitals read assertive and sculpted, with sharp diagonals and carefully controlled curves; numerals follow the same italic stress and contrast, creating a cohesive, energetic line of text.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazine features, pull quotes, and section openers where an italic voice is meant to carry emphasis. It can also serve effectively on book jackets, cultural posters, and premium branding applications that benefit from a classic serif italic with visible contrast and flourish.
The overall tone is refined and expressive, combining classic bookish credibility with a more theatrical, headline-ready presence. Its sharp contrast and brisk italic motion feel confident and slightly luxurious, suitable for typography that wants to signal taste and tradition without looking static.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif italic with heightened contrast and expressive, calligraphy-derived details, offering a strong typographic accent for emphasis, titles, and refined display typography.
In text, the heavy main strokes and narrow hairlines create strong sparkle and direction, emphasizing word shapes and flow. The italic forms feel purposefully drawn (not simply slanted), with distinctive entry/exit strokes that add personality at larger sizes.
