A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, tapered terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads as driven by a broad-nib or pointed-pen logic. Serifs are bracketed and neatly cut, with a steady forward slant and lively, slightly elastic curves. Capitals feel tall and sculpted with crisp joints, while lowercase shows more calligraphic motion, including single-storey a and g, a descending f with a pronounced hook, and a y with a sweeping tail. Numerals follow the same italic stress and contrast, with curved forms like 3 and 9 showing generous bowls and fine hairline exits.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It also fits upscale editorial layouts, branding moments, and packaging accents that benefit from a refined, classic italic presence.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, combining traditional bookish authority with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward flair. The strong contrast and energetic italics give it a confident, rhetorical voice suited to emphasis and display-driven typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an emphatic italic voice within a conventional serif framework—pairing classical proportions with heightened contrast and calligraphic detailing for impactful, polished typography.
Stroke endings tend to finish in fine, pointed teardrops or knife-like hairlines, creating a crisp sparkle at text sizes. Spacing appears relatively compact in the sample setting, which enhances the dark, continuous rhythm typical of bold italic serifs.
