An italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flaring terminals that give strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. Letterforms lean consistently with lively curves and sharp entry/exit strokes, creating a rhythmic, slightly dynamic texture in text. Serifs read as delicate and often wedge-like or softly bracketed rather than blunt, while bowls and counters stay open enough to keep the overall color clear despite the contrast. Capitals are broad and expressive, and the lowercase shows compact proportions with relatively small interior spaces, contributing to a crisp, editorial silhouette.
Well-suited to editorial settings where an expressive italic voice is desired, such as magazine features, literary titles, chapter openers, and pull quotes. It can also serve elegantly in invitations, boutique branding, and packaging where refined contrast and calligraphic motion are an advantage. Best used at display to text sizes where its crisp terminals and modulation remain clearly rendered.
The tone is refined and slightly dramatic, evoking classic book typography and formal correspondence. Its energetic italic motion and sharp terminals add a sense of sophistication and momentum, making it feel poised and cultured rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast italic with a sculpted, flared finishing language—combining classical serif structure with a distinctly calligraphic stroke behavior. The goal seems to be an articulate, premium tone that adds emphasis and elegance without resorting to ornate swashes.
The numerals and punctuation adopt the same sharp, tapered detailing, helping headings and pull quotes maintain stylistic continuity. In longer lines, the strong contrast and pointed joins create a lively sparkle, especially in words with diagonals and curved strokes.
