A high-contrast italic serif with a calligraphic, tapered stroke model and visibly flared, bracketed terminals. Stems swell and thin decisively, giving letters a sculpted, chiseled feel, while entry/exit strokes often finish in sharp points or small wedges. The italic angle is consistent and lively, with a slightly variable rhythm across glyphs that emphasizes handwritten energy over strict mechanical regularity. Counters are generally open, and the lowercase shows single-storey forms with pronounced stroke modulation and distinctive, curling details in letters like g, y, and z.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, book and magazine titling, and brand marks that benefit from a distinctive italic presence. It can work in short-to-medium editorial text when ample size and leading preserve its contrast and pointed details, but it will be most effective where its sculptural terminals and calligraphic rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a refined, old-world elegance. Its strong contrast and energetic italic movement add drama and sophistication, suggesting tradition, ceremony, and a cultivated editorial voice rather than a neutral utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic voice with pronounced stroke contrast and flared, tapered endings—combining traditional serif structure with expressive, pen-like movement for elevated display and editorial use.
Numerals and capitals maintain the same sharp, tapered logic as the letters, producing a crisp sparkle in display settings. The texture in paragraphs appears lively and slightly swashy, so spacing and line breaks will noticeably shape the perceived rhythm.
