A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes taper into sharp terminals and bracketed serifs, with energetic entry and exit strokes that create a flowing, hand-driven feel even in capitals. The italic construction is assertive and sculpted: bowls are compact, joins are crisp, and many lowercase forms show subtle swash-like finishing strokes that add movement. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic with angled stress and tapered ends, producing a cohesive, lively texture in text.
Well suited for headlines, deck copy, and editorial applications where an italic voice is meant to carry emphasis and character. It also fits book covers, chapter openers, invitations, and premium packaging where a classic serif italic can add drama and polish.
The overall tone is traditional and elevated, with a confident, slightly theatrical flourish. It evokes bookish refinement and editorial sophistication, balancing formality with a sense of motion and personality typical of spirited italics.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif italic with strong contrast and a calligraphic sensibility, offering a distinctive, elegant emphasis style for contemporary editorial and branding contexts.
At larger sizes the sharp terminals and tapered curves read as elegant and expressive; in denser settings the strong contrast and active shapes create a dark, animated color on the page. The slant and pronounced modulation give the face a pronounced emphasis, making it feel more like a display italic than a neutral companion style.
