A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a lively, calligraphic stroke rhythm. Thick verticals and hairline joins create crisp contrast, while many terminals finish in tapered, slightly flared wedges that read like pen-cut endings rather than blunt serifs. Counters are moderately open, curves are smooth and slightly ovalized, and several letters show subtle swelling through the stems, giving the texture a rolling, energetic cadence. The lowercase has a traditional italic structure with a single-storey a and g, compact shoulders, and long, angled entry/exit strokes; the capitals are tall and assertive with sharp beaks and tapered arms.
This font is well suited to magazine headlines, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and cultural posters where an elegant italic voice is desirable. It can also work for branding and packaging that wants a classic, literary tone, especially when set with generous spacing and at display to mid-text sizes.
The overall tone feels classical and editorial—confident, elegant, and a bit theatrical. Its sharp italics and crisp contrast suggest refinement and urgency at once, making it feel suited to sophisticated, story-driven typography rather than neutral utility text.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional italic serif voice with strong contrast and expressive, flared terminals—capturing the feel of calligraphic construction while remaining crisp and typographically controlled for editorial and display use.
The numerals appear italic as well, with oldstyle-like variation in height and lively curves, reinforcing a traditional book-typography impression. Stroke endings frequently resolve into narrow points or wedges, which adds sparkle at larger sizes but can make the texture more insistent in dense settings.
