A high-contrast serif italic with tapered, flaring stroke endings and sharply defined terminals. The letterforms show a pronounced diagonal stress, slender hairlines, and confident thick strokes that create a crisp, rhythmic texture in text. Serifs are small and bracketed, often resolving into wedge-like, calligraphic points; joins and curves are smooth, with tight apertures and compact interior counters that reinforce a streamlined, vertical presence. Overall proportions feel condensed and elegant, with a slightly lively, hand-influenced modulation rather than purely mechanical geometry.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic voice is meant to feel intentional and expressive—magazine features, book and journal titling, pull quotes, and high-end brand collateral. It also works effectively for short to medium passages at comfortable sizes where its contrast and sharp terminals can remain clear.
The font conveys a polished, editorial sophistication with a touch of theatrical flair. Its strong contrast and energetic italic angle add momentum and emphasis, suggesting tradition, taste, and a confident, cultivated voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened contrast and flared endings, combining traditional calligraphic cues with a clean, contemporary finish. Its compact proportions and lively modulation suggest a focus on elegance, emphasis, and headline-level presence while remaining capable in text settings.
In the sample text, the dark stems and fine connecting hairlines produce a sparkling page color, especially at larger sizes. The figures and capitals carry the same tapered logic, keeping emphasis consistent across mixed-case settings and numerals.
