This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced diagonal stress and tapered, flaring terminals. Strokes transition sharply from hairlines to robust main stems, and the serifs read as gently bracketed and calligraphic rather than blocky. Forms are narrow to moderately proportioned with a lively rhythm; curves are crisp and slightly compressed, and joins feel pen-influenced. The lowercase shows a traditional italic construction with single-storey a and g, a hooked f, a compact r, and flowing entry/exit strokes that create forward momentum in text.
It performs especially well for editorial typography where an expressive italic voice is desired—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined titling. It also suits book covers, cultural posters, and premium branding applications that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif with a dynamic slant.
Overall it conveys a refined, editorial sophistication with a slightly theatrical sweep. The sharp contrast and energetic slant add drama, while the controlled detailing keeps the tone formal and polished.
The design appears intended to provide a sophisticated italic with calligraphic energy—balancing sharp hairlines and robust stems to deliver elegance at display sizes while maintaining a cohesive, readable rhythm in short passages.
In continuous text, the italic angle and strong contrast create a distinct texture, with bright hairline counters and darker vertical accents. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, mixing firm stems with delicate curves, helping the set feel cohesive across letters and figures.
