This typeface is a high-contrast serif italic with sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The strokes show a strong diagonal stress, with crisp hairlines and heavier verticals that give the forms a bright, engraved feel. Terminals are often pointed or gently flared, and curves are cut cleanly, producing a polished rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. Proportions read on the wider side with open counters and steady spacing, keeping the texture airy even in dense text; numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic with emphatic curves and thin entry strokes.
It performs best in editorial contexts where elegance and contrast are assets—magazine features, book jackets, display typography, and prominent quotations. The open proportions and clear italic rhythm can also suit short-form text in print-oriented layouts, especially when paired with a calmer roman companion for hierarchy.
The overall tone is sophisticated and literary, evoking traditional book typography and high-end editorial styling. Its calligraphic slant and dramatic contrast suggest formality and refinement, with a slightly theatrical flair in capitals and swash-like details.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, upscale italic voice with strong contrast and crisp serif detailing, suitable for expressive typography without departing from conventional text-serif structure. It aims to balance traditional forms with a more display-forward sparkle through sharp terminals, clean hairlines, and a confident slant.
The uppercase set carries a stately presence with crisp apexes and strong serif joins, while the lowercase maintains smooth, continuous motion typical of italic construction. The italic rhythm is consistent across letters and figures, supporting coherent word shapes and a distinctly flowing line.
