A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear calligraphic modulation with tapered terminals and diagonal stress, producing a lively thick–thin rhythm. Capitals are slightly narrow and poised, while lowercase forms are more fluid, with generous curves, open counters, and occasional entry/exit strokes that reinforce a handwritten italic feel. Figures follow the same contrast and slant, with compact proportions and neatly finished terminals.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an expressive italic voice is needed, such as magazine features, book interiors, and literary branding. It performs particularly well in headlines, pull quotes, introductions, and short passages where its contrast and motion can be appreciated without becoming visually dense.
The overall tone is elegant and bookish, with a classical, literary flavor. Its sharp contrast and flowing italic movement feel expressive and refined, leaning more toward cultured editorial sophistication than casual informality.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional italic serif with pronounced calligraphic energy, combining classical proportions with sharp contrast for an authoritative yet expressive typographic voice. Its emphasis on slant, modulation, and refined detailing suggests an intention to add elegance and emphasis in text-forward layouts.
The design maintains consistent slant and contrast across letters and numerals, creating an energetic texture at larger sizes. In the text sample, the tight joins and strong modulation create a dark, animated color that reads as emphatic and rhetorical, especially in italics-heavy settings.
