A high-contrast italic serif with calligraphic construction and tapered, flared stroke endings that read as soft, bracketed serifs rather than sharp slabs. The axis is strongly angled, with energetic entry/exit strokes and pointed terminals that create a lively rhythm. Capitals are wide and stately with pronounced diagonals and flowing curves, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and open counters, aided by long ascenders and slightly compressed bowls. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with curving strokes and refined terminals suited to display settings.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial passages where its contrast and italic cadence can be appreciated. It can also serve well for upscale branding, packaging, and invitations that benefit from a formal, literary voice.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking bookish refinement and old-style craftsmanship. Its slant and sharp, tapered finishes add momentum and a sense of ceremony, making text feel expressive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif look with a calligraphic sensibility—prioritizing elegance, motion, and contrast for expressive typography in editorial and display contexts.
Stroke modulation is prominent throughout, with thin hairlines and heavier main strokes creating a crisp sparkle at larger sizes. Letterforms show consistent, sweeping italic joins and terminals that help maintain continuity across words while preserving clear individual shapes.
