A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered stems, compact counters, and pronounced modulation that echoes broad-nib calligraphy. Serifs are bracketed and crisp, with wedge-like terminals and a consistent rightward slant across capitals and lowercase. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly condensed, while the lowercase shows a lively rhythm with narrow joins, angled stress, and prominent ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and slanted structure, maintaining a cohesive texture in both display and text settings.
Well suited for editorial typography such as magazine headlines, subheads, and pull quotes, as well as book-jacket titling and other literary packaging. It can also serve formal messaging—programs, invitations, or certificates—where an italic serif voice adds emphasis and sophistication.
The overall tone is polished and literary, balancing traditional bookish authority with a touch of energetic flourish from the italic angle and strong stroke contrast. It reads as sophisticated and editorial, suited to contexts where a classic voice and a sense of refinement are desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, print-oriented italic with pronounced contrast and a calligraphic cadence, providing a distinctive, expressive option for emphasis and high-level hierarchy while remaining grounded in conventional serif construction.
In running text, the strong contrast and compact internal spaces create a dark, elegant color, with distinctive italic letterforms that emphasize motion and hierarchy. The slant and sharp terminals make the face feel most confident when given adequate size and spacing.
