This typeface is a high-contrast serif italic with a compact, vertically oriented footprint and lively, calligraphic modulation. Stems and main strokes taper into sharp, flared wedge-like terminals, while serifs are bracketed and crisply cut, giving the forms a sculpted, ink-on-paper feel. Curves show an upright, transitional-style stress; joins are tight and clean, and the overall rhythm is narrow and energetic. The lowercase has a traditional italic structure with single-storey forms and pronounced entry/exit strokes, while capitals are tall and stately with pointed apexes and strongly tapered diagonals.
Well suited to headlines, standfirsts, and pull quotes where its contrast and italic movement can add emphasis and sophistication. It also fits magazine and book-cover typography, and can work for branding in contexts that want a classic, refined voice. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at moderate sizes and with generous leading to balance the dense, high-contrast texture.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, combining classic bookish authority with a slightly theatrical, display-leaning snap from the sharp terminals and strong contrast. It reads as formal and cultivated, with enough motion in the italic to feel expressive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif voice with heightened contrast and sharpened terminals for impact. By pairing narrow proportions with flared, tapered endings, it aims to project elegance and authority while retaining a sense of motion and expressive stroke work.
In text, the narrow proportions and strong stroke contrast create a bright, high-contrast texture; spacing appears relatively tight, which reinforces a vertical, columnar color. Numerals follow the same italicized, tapered logic, with emphatic curves and clear differentiation between figures.
