A high-contrast italic serif with sharply defined hairlines and fuller, tapered main strokes. Serifs are bracketed and often flare out from the stems, creating a sculpted, chiseled impression rather than flat slab endings. Curves are smooth and slightly compressed, with a pronounced forward slant and lively entry/exit strokes that give words a strong directional flow. Uppercase forms feel formal and contained, while lowercase shows more calligraphic modulation, including single-storey-style constructions and angled terminals that increase texture at text sizes.
It performs best where an expressive italic voice is desired: editorial headlines, magazine features, book and film titling, and prominent pull quotes. It can also support refined branding and packaging, especially when set with generous spacing and high-quality reproduction to preserve the thin hairlines.
The font conveys a polished, literary tone with a sense of traditional craft. Its crisp contrast and energetic italic rhythm feel expressive and cultured, suited to sophisticated, high-end communication rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive italic serif voice that blends classical proportions with flared, sculptural terminals for extra character. It prioritizes elegance and motion, aiming for a stylish, literary texture that stands out in display and short-form editorial settings.
The stroke modulation produces a sparkling rhythm in longer lines, with pronounced thin parts that add delicacy and pronounced thick parts that add authority. Numerals follow the same italic energy and contrast, giving them a stylish, editorial presence when used in running text or headlines.
