A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty main strokes. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, flowing into stems with a calligraphic modulation that gives strong diagonals and a forward-leaning rhythm. Uppercase forms feel stately and sculpted, while lowercase shows more movement with slanted bowls, varied stroke endings, and occasional swash-like terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast and italic energy, reading as traditional and text-oriented rather than geometric.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other long-form contexts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also performs effectively in headlines, pull quotes, and formal announcements where dramatic contrast and a classic serif presence can take center stage.
The overall tone is dramatic and literary, combining classic bookish authority with an expressive, handwritten-italic flair. Its lively curves and sharp details create a sense of elegance and emphasis, suitable for conveying tradition with a touch of theatricality.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif interpreted through a bold, calligraphic italic lens—prioritizing elegant contrast, traditional proportions, and expressive movement for refined reading and emphasis in editorial layouts.
Stroke contrast is pronounced across the set, making thin joins and entry/exit strokes visually delicate at smaller sizes. The italic construction relies on strong diagonals and angled stress, producing a dynamic texture in words and a noticeably animated line color in paragraphs.
