This serif italic shows a pronounced diagonal stress with crisp, high-contrast stroke modulation. Serifs read as sharp wedges and subtle flares rather than flat slabs, and many joins taper into pointed or teardrop-like terminals. Capitals are broad and sculpted with sweeping entry strokes, while lowercase forms are compact and lively, with a single-storey “g” and an angled, energetic “e.” Figures follow the same italic rhythm, with curved, calligraphic shaping and strong thick–thin transitions.
It suits editorial display roles such as headlines, pull quotes, and book or magazine titling where an elegant italic voice is desired. The dramatic contrast and wedge-like finishing also make it a strong choice for refined branding, event materials, and poster typography, especially when paired with a calmer roman or a neutral sans for hierarchy.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining classical bookishness with a touch of theatrical flourish. Its sharp serifs and brisk italic angle convey sophistication and momentum, making the text feel expressive without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical italic with contemporary sharpness: high-contrast calligraphic rhythm, sculpted wedges, and confident swashes for expressive display typography while remaining coherent in continuous text at larger sizes.
Spacing appears generous in display sizes, allowing the slanted forms and extended wedges to breathe. The stroke endings and internal counters create a crisp sparkle, but the strong contrast and pointed details suggest it will look best when given enough size and air.
