A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced wedge-like, bracketed serifs and a strongly calligraphic stroke model. Curves swell into thick verticals and taper quickly into thin entry and exit strokes, producing a lively diagonal rhythm and noticeable modulation throughout. Uppercase forms are broad and stately with sharp terminals and sculpted joins, while the lowercase shows flowing, slightly condensed shapes with generous bowls and crisp, angled finishing strokes. Numerals read as oldstyle figures with varying heights and pronounced contrast, matching the text’s energetic, ink-trap-free sharpness.
This font suits editorial headlines, pull quotes, and book-cover typography where a strong, classic italic voice is desirable. It can also support branding and packaging that needs a traditional, crafted feel, especially in short to medium settings where the high contrast and lively terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly literary, old-world flavor. Its italic energy adds drama and motion, making it feel expressive and slightly theatrical while remaining rooted in classic book typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif italic with heightened calligraphic character—combining classic proportions with emphatic contrast and energetic terminals to create a confident, expressive reading texture.
Letterforms show consistent rightward slant and dynamic, sweeping terminals, especially in diagonals and curved letters. The texture in words is bold and dark with clear internal counters, but the thin strokes and tight joins create a more display-leaning presence than a quiet text italic.
