A slanted serif design with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The forms show a calligraphic, slightly oldstyle construction: rounded joins, tapered terminals, and lively curves that create a strong diagonal flow. Uppercase letters are sturdy and evenly proportioned with sharp, wedge-like finishing, while lowercase adds more movement through teardrop terminals, a single-storey a, and loopier, more expressive shapes. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with compact counters and energetic curves that keep the line feeling fast and cohesive.
Well-suited to editorial settings where an italic voice is prominent—magazines, pull quotes, and feature headlines—especially at medium to large sizes where the contrast and terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for book covers and refined branding where a classic, emphatic tone is desired, while longer passages may benefit from careful sizing and spacing due to the dark texture.
The overall tone reads as traditional and literary, with a confident, editorial polish. Its strong contrast and brisk italic angle add drama and emphasis, suggesting formality without feeling rigid.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, traditional serif italic with heightened contrast and a distinctly calligraphic cadence. It balances conventional serif structure with more expressive lowercase detailing to provide a recognizable, emphatic voice for display and editorial emphasis.
Stroke modulation is consistent across the set, with tight apertures and sturdy stems that keep the texture dark in paragraphs. Several glyphs (notably in the lowercase) lean into decorative, swash-like terminals, increasing character and making the italic feel purposefully expressive rather than purely utilitarian.
