A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, tapered serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with pointed joins and finely cut terminals that give the letters a sharp, engraved feel. Proportions lean slightly narrow in the capitals with generous inner counters, while the lowercase is compact with lively, calligraphic curvature and a steady baseline rhythm. Figures and punctuation follow the same contrast and slanted stress, reading cleanly at text sizes while retaining a distinctly stylized edge.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form articles where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and titling where the sharp contrast and slant can add hierarchy and sophistication without becoming decorative.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with an assertive, traditional elegance. Its sharp finishing and energetic italic movement suggest sophistication and seriousness, making it feel at home in editorial contexts rather than casual interfaces.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with heightened contrast and crisp finishing, balancing readability with a more dramatic, calligraphy-informed flair. It aims to provide a refined italic voice for emphasis and display moments within traditional typographic systems.
Uppercase forms maintain a composed, classical structure, while the lowercase introduces more personality through sharper entry/exit strokes and distinctive diagonals. The texture in paragraph setting is dark and rhythmic, with noticeable sparkle from the high contrast and pointed detailing.
